but if you want something that is different and surprising then go for it, i guess its like turboing a civic.....

Re: How to make your own Turbo Kit
The biggest thing is the money issue.............
Take the total money it's gonna cost you to build that turbo kit (plus making your carb'd bike into fi) and add that to what you could sell your 500 for and you prolly have enough money to get a good used newer 600.
Now if you just wanna have something different, go for it. But be prepared to spend lots of money and time on it to keep it running straight for the rest of it's life.
