Out of curiosity, has there ever been anyone awesome (dumb) enough to put NOS and a turbo on their motorcycle?! I've seen a few threads on badweb of turboed bikes and bikes w/ NOS but never in combo. Is there anyone that can lay claim to this manliest of feats?

An S1 at the Blackhawk track day during the 25th had both.











I believe this is the photo for March in the 2009 GlitchCo sidestand calendar. That's my '00 X1, behind the S1 but I don't think that's anyone's main focus when looking at the pic : )

I don't know how that bike stayed together missing that front motor mount head bolt....

Nice catch on the bolt Wilson!
Definately a fire extinguisher.

There was a guy in the DFW area that had an all black "naked" 04 GSXR1000 that had a small turbo and a 50 shot. he said the 50 shot was useless unless you were in 6th gear (in ANY other gear it would flip you off the back).

The nitrous kit uses a small fire extinguisher bottle. If you look carefully, I think you can see the NO2 supply line coming off the valve, below the handle. I've seen these before on other bike installations. Few Harleys around here with them, as well as a Kawi 1300 [like it needs nitrous!].

I've seen a Hyabusa with a turbo and nitrous here at a local bike night. Guy said the fastest he had it was 210 and it was still pulling hard.
