I'm sure we've seen this bike before but......... it resurfaced on FB recently with the owner adding some comments. Amazing piece of work. It's since been returned to stock as the owner found it "Became too much for me, wanted to live longer and grow old and wise".
I'd happily give name credit but he's told me he prefers a low profile (really, with a bike like that.....), but says that while top speed was not known, 160 mph was readily achieved and it would wheelie at 100 mph.
He comments "I used a Stromberg carb. The oil from the turbo was pumped back to the sump with an electric pump. In the ignition I used two contacts, one on vacuum and one under boost. Boost 10 to 15psi".
