good luck.

but eh (don`t kill me for this ) what`s a supercharger?

[MasterBates]

i think it means he opened his engine up and modified it... im pretty sure those components aren't supposed to be hanging out in the open like that

[SkinnE]

A supercharger is like a turbo, except instead of being driven by exhaust gases, it is driven directly off the engine. At least that's what a supercharger usually is. What I think Crash has got there is a super charger though. As in he can power twenty electric vests off that thing. Or he would if that belt was tight. Looks like an alternator to me. Maybe it has a suicide shifter style tensioner on the right side of the bike. Or maybe I'm just thinking about this joke too much. It's that empty pulley channel, it's got my mind wandering to things like front wheel drive... I dare you to ride that thing in jeans, and use the forward pegs. I know, fit a polishing ball on the end of that pulley, and you won't need to clean your left boot again! I'm going to turn my brain off now...

[Logicus]

ummmmm... isn't that an alternator?

[motorcycleman]

Maybe it is the first electric XS-650!

You see! That's why we get along! The only person to acknowledge that it is indeed a XS650 ( the legend itself)! I am suprised that nobody pointed out that the highway peg is an old railroad spike. Now go back to work before your web surfing is noticed by management! And by the way I think another tree just fell on your house.

SkinnE you get extra points for identifing that it is indeed a "super-charger" as in electrical charging system. You're a very clever man. Oh and also for having Gazza in your avatar. McWilliams is truly the last of the old school.

Logicus I can only give you partial credit because of course it's an alternator but the fact that you seemed unsure leads me to believe that we will find you in you car on the side of the road somewhere with the little battery light lit up on your dashboard.

MasterBates You get the other half or Logicus' credit as you have correctly identified the extranious parts. Also you can help Logicus when he is broken down on the side of the road with his expired alternator.

Dash You sound like a man very much in need of a "super-charger"... would you like to buy one?

[motorcycleman]

hmmmm... thinking some more about it- is that one of milktrees early brighter headlight experiments? I'd love to see the before and after pictures of the light at night! Before: 40 yards on high beam, after: 2 miles (but only at redline )!

looks like the sameone i have in my van

I was about to, I work with the RR's. By the way I'm looking for some 2.5" wheels for my "Track Hawk" conversion

[Deadlego]

do I get any points if I get this right??

I want to say thats a ford part possible early ford from the 70 to 80s possible early 90s but most likey for the 70 to 80s

um, I`m afriad I don`t quite catch your drift

and I wouldn`t like to buy anything because my expenses are a tad high this month

I'm afraid I'm going to have to dock you points Crash. For calling Jeremy (Jezza) McWilliams "Gazza". Oh the shame...

E

[Crash]

I'll try to win them back.

[Logicus]

Man, I don't know if I would be at all comfortable with my toes being so close to the back pulley or my ankle/heel so close to the front pulley without some type of cover over the belt. That would suck to break that belt at highway speeds with your feet out on the highway pegs. ...... ouch...
