Buckets turboed Rocket

[Aussiebikerdave]

These pics of Bucket's Rocket were taken at the Port Macquarie rat raid earlier this month. Buckets reports that it is showing 220hp at the rear wheel with about 300ft/lb of torque. Even though the clutch has been strengthened and it holds in the lower gears, she wants to slip under WOT in top. He is currently working on a cure. What's it like to ride... dunno, Buckets wasn't offerin' any tests rides... not that I blame him! Davo

Hello Aussiebikerdave, very cool. how much hp and torque did it add???

I don't understand that question, he said it is putting ~220hp and ~300ft/lb of torque at the rear wheel. The bikes have a factory stated 140hp and 147ft/lb of torque at the crank.

I am confused...(imagine that)...This pic shows an exhaust dump right out of the turbo:

Exhaust dump

Either way... a very cool set up :-D

I would imagine that is the waste gate, used to control the amount of boost that reaches the intake. Any excess pressure will be released here.

I have turbo connection TURBO on mine and think it has the cleanest finish to them all, plus its got 210 rear wheel hp and 220 lbs of torque.... Ck out his websit www.boostisgood.com
