Hi guys i hope somebody can help me, I'm in the process of having a turbo installed on a k8, and the guy doing the mod, when i asked him if he was gonna install an intercooler tells me a) no need at say 300-350hp. and b) he says there's no space!!!! all you guys talking about intercoolers on turbo bikes has got me nervous. please forgive the ignorance where would the intercooler be placed/installed. (hey i only ride these crazy things, i pay the professionals to do the mods):confused::confused::confused:

it all depends on the intended use of the bike........drag racing , land speed , street only etc. better to be safe , than sorry.
if your guy says that there is no room for an intercooler , it must be so.:rofl:

The bikes only for road use. We gonna keep the standard swingarm aswell so maybe i might need that seat belt after all... The problem over here is that everytime our currency gets weaker against the dollar, obviously everything becomes alot more expensive currently the gen2 busa sells off the dealers floor for the equivelent of $14500-00 US and then you start adding extra's:confused::confused::gun shoot:
