[QUOTE="davidd, post: 56648, member: 1177"] Andy, I would love to see it done. If you have not already read them, read Phil Irving's articles on the pre-war supercharged single. They are on line. There are a whole host of issues. One of the issues is that singles don't lend themselves well to supercharging because there is nowhere for the charge to go once the single has taken a gulp. It has to wait an eternity for the next gulp. But, it has been done successfully on a number of Bonneville single cylinders. I am not sure it would lend itself well to the street. As I remember, when Phil was done the bike went about as well as the normally aspirated racer. David [/QUOTE]
