Nitrous! I would try possibly an underseat setup. It will kill some of your clearance but I don't think that will be much of an issue I have my license plate there now and don't have any problems.

Send picks before you kill yourself on that beast!

You probably could if you were at around 100mph in 6th gear and wanted to get up to 150 quickly to catch up with that GSXR that just passed you on the freeway doing 170.

You should strap them to your back like a back pack and then hook up every time you get on the bike; inconvenient, and dangerous but way cool. Besides what do you care about dangerous? If you're putting bottles on an S3 you laugh at danger and cool definitley outweighs inconvenient. Look in paintball magazines or on websites for remote bottle setups that let you wear the bottle.

Definitely take and post pics before you total the bike. Video would be better. Sounds like a fun project.

How about getting a cross-bar for your handlebars and mounting it on there?

By under the seat I meant under the tail section, not inbetween the seat and plastic were you have the battery.

i dont have bars anymore i put clip-ons on it at the end of the year last year! i love them by the way!

as for under the tail, i will look at that i am just worried about the tire hitting them.
i did see there is a cross bar by the top of the shock that might work... well see when i get them in.

Aaronb,

You need to fit a Zard exhaust, then mount your bottles where the mufflers are now.
