I was wondering about forced induction on our bikes as well. I see the R1 turbo on Youtube. Wonder how hard it is to do, to fabricate.

It's most likely not worth the trouble. It would be cheaper and easier to buy a 4 valver if you don't have one, or buy a different bike.
Now if one brings emotion into it, etc, then you know, by all means.
This was posted awhile back. There is also a supercharger kit that is or was being developed by VeeTwo out of Australia for the DS engines.
Don't know the guy, but it's Bart Crauwels a Belgian guy. I vagely remember he was a student at the time, not sure about that anymore though. He owns the site: http://www.ducati.be/ (http://www.ducati.be/)
I was about to say, VeeTwo did forced induction on the Super Squalo.
See also, DucCutters for more info on forced induction ducs.
Forced induction = more air = more fuel = more power = more heat to remove.
Remember that when looking at high horsepower numbers in an air-cooled bike.
