who's the best turbo guy? was created by irishwill
Ok guys...I think we are going to start another project to run along Pen's Z1

I think I am going to build a "prostreet" turbo

I have a "77 1000 frame here in the shop that I amgoing to start with...It will have all the goodies that Pen's bike has...mono shock suspension brakes ect.

Now I have built a few turbo bikes when I was with velocity racing...but they were all fuel injected...so now that we're back to carbatooters...I would like some "expert" advice.
so who's the best?

Off the top of my head (and I could be wrong, mind you) I'd say Lorcan, making a 750 Turbo do a verified 211 mph you have to know what you're doing.

He's a member here and his website is here.

77 KZ 650 B1, 82 GPz 1100 B2.

Frank Davis at Powerhouse Motorcycles on Long Island is VERY good. He's built many, many turbo KZ's.
