Our weather sucks all spring. I know your guy's isn't much better. Gord's keeping me posted on ladysmith rain. hope you've been able to try out the bike though.

here's a couple pictures of our bikes together Treg.

intercooler. works very well. still have to put a scoop over it ,but it sure makes a significant difference in air temp, and power.

looking great. have you had a chance to take it out? I hope you're doing well.

I wish that was my neck of the woods. It's near Vernon in the Okanogan. The short video was in Ladysmith on the island.I need to stop bobbing my head around so much, there was no good place on the bike to mount the camera, too many vibes. I will post some video from your place but it needs some edit...

sorry I should be posting my stuff on my thread.oops.

weird I couldn't post two links at the same time, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G36cm8mMMHg&t=549sld be the second one.

congratulations on getting it legal. hopefully you'll be up and riding in no time. I managed to post a couple of videos to you tube I will try and link them here. now I kinda know how too, I have a few more to post.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tq_DDDj-zWQhttps

Hey the home stretch is in sight, that's awesome its still a Harley. do you get a little time off between Christmas a new years, so you can finish it up? cant wait to go riding with you again. we'll have to ride up to kenco motorcycles in sooke, two diesels will blow their minds. plus its a nice rid...

That's really good news. I hope your intercooler takes the heat out, bell looks great. They seem too have alot of information on building coolers and sizing etc. Now you be able to get a few miles on the ole girl. I will definitely let you know if I come down, I would like to have a longer visit and...

Looks awesome, I take it you got the trans working properly now. A little extra plumbing but well worth it. I wish I could get a chance to come visit again, but probably won't happen for a while.Did you get the little Enfield running for your neighbor? I haven't quite got my new intercooler installe...

thanks for the invite and hospitality. I had a good all around trip, met lots of fantastic people, lots of good riding on incredible roads. rain and shine it was all great. I really put the little diesel through its paces. I really like the style and workmanship on your bike, your gonna have a lot o...

then get on and ride the wheels off of it!!!

Are you road legal now? How much of a trek would it be to checkout the old observatory?

I sent you a private message.

i will give you some warning a little closer to the time of departure, but so far its still looking like a go.i still cant post pictures the same way as before. not sure about that. it will be awsome to see the chrome shop as it seems like its becoming a disappearing art. i hope you guys stay busy a...

at 1 to 1 ratio i could make 12 pounds boost at 3800 rpm, now at 1.2 to 1 i can get 15 psi at 3600 or 17 psi at 3800. i havn't broken it yet, and it seems quite happy running so ya some playing around with that misting on the intake to lower boost charge temp, and i think it will be ready for the tr...

cool set up, can't wait to see it, if your still up for a visit in july. i cant seem to load pictures either. ive made a few changes always looking to keep improving the 418. still working out a viable nozzle for water/meth set up, but getting there i think. will post more results when it all comes ...

it can happen really easily, the little window is your visual check. glad to hear it is working properly.

have you, removed and reinstalled the injection pump? if so the governor fork may not be engaged properly with the rack on the injection pump making it run wild and no shut off. just a thought.

do it, it sounds awsome, if someone wants to dispute what your doing then ask them where their machine is with a working set up. you seem to have done lots of research go for it, and catalog your findings, so you can make changes as needed to optimise power and reliability. your on the road to boost...

Do it. you will probably be the first on this site to have dual compression in a bike. Did you get plated yet?

wait a minute. who said turbos on a single cannot ever work? VW and their large budget made it work for the 1 litre car. putting together random bits from the internet that were never engineered to work together is what doesn't work well. make sure your system actually works,performs, and has the lo...

good job. theres some validation for all your work and effort. now its time to get it legal and enjoy the ride. at least you'll be able to ride it for some time this year yet. we just had our first frost. sucks being this far north.

Thanks, its a fun little bike. i have a few more refinements i will pursue before my next trip, water meth injection i want to bump it up to around 15 psi boost, and some wind breaker devices. i've been to sydney and vic many times just not on the diesel. i will definatly come by july 2016. i may pr...

how hard is it to get it plated in bc? where about on the island are you, i did a trip july 2014 from sexsmith ab to ladysmith bc via the north okanogan 3200km in 7 days on my little diesel. awsome trip hope to do it again in 2016, just longer.i hope you get many good miles on yours you'll get lots ...

i don't think the crank could take the twist its only pressed together and driving the trans from one end i'm sure would undo. a lot more messing around but could mabey made to work. the supercharger was ebay at only $280.00 cad. i think the supercharger would have a smoother air delivery. mabey mak...

if it never gets colder than 24c then controling the heat will be even more of an issue for you. best of luck.
