Anyone got Nitros ?

[Ward P]

I remember old threads with wet vs dry, and nitros vs turbos etc.
but cant find them now.

I want my bike to stay basically standard, and am wondering about the virtues of nitros.
I am assuming it can be hidden, out of the way, and wouldn't effect anything with the motor except when you feel the need for that little extra urge.

Most of the time the busa has ample go, so I figure it would spend most of the time off, but when riding with a few of the newer bikes, the busa doesn't hold its domination on the straights where it used to, and this is when a little injection of "boost" might be handy.
Top end isn't a problem, as the busa still winds out past it's rivals.

It would also add a little bit of 'street cred' to the old girl.

But what about reliability?
I don't mind wheelies or the back letting go, but I want the motor to stay reliable, and not blow up in a big puff of white smoke, or even just fail to proceed. - There aint no credability in that.

I know most would probably say just turbo it and be done, I've been down that road before although in another era, and would like to something a bit different. It's as much a two up cruiser and tourer as it is a toy.

So I'd be interested in some feed back from anyone with experience in Nitros on the busa.
Is it a good thing or a complete money wasting wank?

Sounds perfect mate! DO IT you won't look back....except to check on your mates!

I have a NOS wet kit here I was thinking of putting on only recently.

I know of a NX express kit (brand new) that the owner may part with if you chose that route.

Pete how much do you have on that kit....?

[Ward P]

Pete,
It sounds good, and I see you've got that in the for sales at $1500
(does that include some help in fitting it??)

Can you get the rear seat on, or do you need to run the hump.
As I said, I often run 2 up. I suppose it could be mounted elsewhere.
Would be good to see a bit of the bottle peeking out.

How is reliability? If you're careful (not a complete dickhead) how does the engine stand up to an instant extra 50 horses?

Is yours similar Bruce?
