    Very nice, I like the clean straight forward look. How does she run?

    Smooth. I was really surprised how well I bench set the carburetors.
    Gonna try and get my drift camera on my helmet to get some better riding video.

    Is that filter on the waste gate outlet? If it is, it's probably going to blow right off, or just cook when the wastegate opens.

    Or is that the inlet for the compressor? I think I see the compressor inlet unfiltered?

    Turbo oil coolers also have a small rubber mount for the top. You might something to keep it from moving forward, it might oscillate on your current mounting setup and cause it to fail.

    Is that GPS waterproof? It is a cool clean set-up.

    If you don't already have a build thread you should consider it. Lots of people want to turbo their maxim, and you'd be able to give a step-by-step of how it's actually done (obviously, by finding a Turbo Seca donor).

    I'd like to hear more about those side covers, rear fender, and HD sportster seat (at least tht is what it looks like). I'm looking to do the same thing and need some info on how you did it. Also, what bar controls are you using? They don't look to be stock and that MC is def not looking like stock.

    The filter is on the compressor inlet. There is a short 90% turnout on the waste gate.

    Shocks are Seca Turbo Air shocks.

    GPS is not waterproof but it is Velcro mounted and can be removed easily to keep it in my pocket when unattended or Inclimate weather. Plus a ziplock sandwich bag fit right over the top of it.

    There is a build thread here already. TurboMax is the title.

    The side Covers and fenders are from a Suzuki GS 1000 and it is a sportster seat. Just had to be creative on how to mount them using existing hardware and making and welding new mounting tabs etc to make them fit

    Handle bars and all controls are off the Seca turbo parts bike.

    I really like the look of your bike. I'd like to do the same kinda thing to my ride especially the seat. I get tired of the old maxim seat.


    Looks good!
