A quick little tip for cutting aluminium with disc grinder, get a bar of soap and cut into it a little bit before and during cutting. Dip it every now and then. It's night and day the difference.

The Air Filter/Intake setup isn't permanent; I didn't realize how "in the way" it was until I put the actual air filter on. I'm currently in the process of coming up with a solution by slightly moving the whole turbo setup, + fabricating a 180 degree intake pipe so that it faces forwards. E-mail me, or contact me through my website (doctor-motorcycle.com) if you have bike you either want built completely, or you want to have a turbo setup made. As of right now, I'm only going to be making kits for bikes that are installed/tuned by myself at my home shop here in Arizona. There's too many variables in these early stages to start sending kits out. I won't be charging extra for install/tune on these early kits BTW, it will be $3,999 out the door. I can do Virago 920's + 1100's as well, and in fact, the next build I'm doing is going to be a Virago 920, probably a twin turbo setup 😁
Don't run the exhaust in the direction of your knee. I did that on my Turbo TR1/Virago and that was one of the worst decisions in my build as within seconds you feel like suffering from sunburn due to the radiant heat off the exhaust.
I like that you upgraded the bearing and seals on the turbo before even using it, that's the kind of attention to detail that shows you did that build right
I wish you had narrated/ explained the procedure - draw-over or flow-over - how you equalised pressures in the carb by tapping those extra connections - did you re-jet your carb? - enlightened us as to what tubing went where - what turbo did you use and why?
I probably would have torqued that turbo impeller nut down and put some loc-tite on it... Then again I guess the reverse pattern nut will take care of it coming loose though... I think those little turbo impeller's can spin up to 300,000 RPM though.. You made all the work look so easy though as you know your way around with all your tools and mechanical experience..
I used to see truck racing on UK circuits. (A car series I was involved with was a support event to the UK Championship). It involved semi tractor units with water-cooled brakes belching steam as they ran three-abreast into corners at Brands and elsewhere.... Spectacular beyond words This is my image of a Buell... A two-wheeled racing semi. It shouldn't race, but it does. It shouldn't be fast, but it is. And this one (this build) is insane. Sublime. Like Dorothy Paget's Blower Bentleys, this unusual monster is a step past logic and into magic. My disdain for almost everything Harley is great. But this is something else. Chapeau!
@@G58 Ha ha... No. I've never been to Donnington. Never ridden there, never been as a spectator. It's a track that exists for me only on TV. Sheene was in and out of trucks before I ever saw one race. I imagine he may have been a part of the reason for Stavros Parrish getting onto trucks.... Parrish was a fixture when I occasionally saw them tearing up the track and biffing the tyre walls a few years later. I was never there for the trucks, but they certainly did grab the attention. Just awesome.
Miss my 2002 X1 Buell..great fun riding bike. The key to Buells, is replace every gasket with James Gaskets, and she'll never leak again. Also, fully float the headers or you will snap exhaust studs, I had three snap before figuring this out. I had the full race kit and it was damn fast. People used to say they didn't have any top end speed...BS...I had mine stock gearing redlined in 5th GPS indicated 154MPH. My Ducati ST4S ABS never came close to that, 135ish.
Had to leave a comment on this. The bike looks amazing. Great job with the rattle can on the tank. Anyone would be proud to own/ride that. I know i would be. Well done.
Just found your channel and had to binge watch the entire list of your builds. Your skills are next fing level! Love to watch like minded people work their craft. I am in the process of rebuilding/restoring my 1982 Yamaha Seca 650. I bought it new and it's about time for some upgrades. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks.
The hardest part of a turbo build is where to put the oil reservoir which is why I stuck to superchargers but every now and then a turbo is just amazing
2008's are a good year to boost because they have a much stronger bottom end. I think the small and big ends of the rods are bigger, along with being lighter too. I'd love to build a turbo XB, it's just hard to find someone who paid $3,800 for a bike that wants to sink $4k into it.
Man I love your builds. And I am waiting on your turbo kit for carbureted sportsters to be done testing. Been wanting to turbo my 91 sporty. Keep em coming.
I have same problem with clear coat on first piece. On second, I apply more layers 4 or 5 i think. After cure I dont have orange skin on it. Also sticker put under clear coat for best possible protection.
Oooo the backwards intor is a niiiiice idea man! Might steal that for my channels next vid if you dont mind! Fantastic content, appreciated it, subbed immediately.
I used to leave out that stuff, but it seemed dishonest to do it like that. I noticed a lot of people saying "you make it look too easy" when in reality, sometimes I want to throw a wrench across the room too. Like when the paint cracked and I had to re-strip/sand/wash it for the second time. The "little issues" never stop, but your ability to navigate them becomes much better.
IDK how I missed this comment but the reason I don't do more riding footage is because after people hear it run and see an acceleration pull they're gone. I've tried doing longer riding shots and it just hurts the analytics too much. 🤷♂
Wow I would love to do this to my Shovel but the S&S super stock 96 or 98 with the andrews gears is already being hard on the clutch but I am positive this man could cure it.
Dude, greetings from Brazil. I'm watching your videos and learning, the gs400 video inspired me to turbocharge my zongshen fly 150cc water-cooled supermoto I'm modifying the engine to 250cc. Your welding machine uses self-shielded wire, right? I built my entire workshop with a machine like that lol. Thanks for the inspiration and congratulations for your work, soon I'll start my project
My cyclone had thunderwstorm heads, S&S air cleaner. stage 3 carb kit, The exhaust was....... what was that...?..um... Vance & Hines can Bridgestone B14's I think it was, sticky ish 16's maybe ? Andrews cam All the cool and sometimes rare stuff. it weelied just with throtle in first, second and third... It's somewhat 'violent' to ride now. Still fun though.
Good work but i need more drive Action with your bike to see,so long work but very short drive Action with that cool bike!! Sorry for my bad english best wish Reiner from Germany
Boss, I have a 02 Buell blast 5k miles. Missing the filter and box cover, I was wondering if you could make an elbow I can attach to the carburetor with a filter if I pay? Nice build
Nice build, I'd imagine what was left of the clutch decided to exit stage right in protest at the extra power, some new plates n stronger springs n I'd be interested what that made on a Dyno👍🏴
Negative, the clutch of the Evolution XL engine is very, very strong and just deleting the clutch judder spring and adding an extra plate in place, it can hold over 120 ft/lbs of torque. I've had this bike on 15psi of boost and E85 and it still held 👍
This man is out here boosting his bike, and I’m just trying to get mine to run. Sick video!

Bro I need this kit for my M2!
Thought it looked awkward to ride
Why not use the stock header pipes to get it run down low then mount the turbo in front between the frame and the front wheel?
I like that you upgraded the bearing and seals on the turbo before even using it, that's the kind of attention to detail that shows you did that build right
I admire your courage, messing around with carbs is a handful and putting a turbo on it is a whole new level. Keep the good content coming 👌.
I wish you had narrated/ explained the procedure
- draw-over or flow-over
- how you equalised pressures in the carb by tapping those extra connections
- did you re-jet your carb?
- enlightened us as to what tubing went where
- what turbo did you use and why?
All that's on patreon. If you're good at something, never do it for free.

Went to every generation factory Buell school from launch to demise. Miss those days a bunch.
This is the first time I've seen something like this... pretty incredible!
Do you have separate video about your enhancement of turbine and in general turbines for carbs?
The part where he puts the screws into a piece of cardboard is absurdly satisfying. 🙏💯🙌🏼
Epic build.... I wish I had this skill. Saved for later to watch with my fulltime attention.

Ride safe.

I had a Bull 1125R until I binned it hitting gravel across the street at night. It was a phenomenal bike.
I miss my Buell. Lots of fun to blast around town. You did some pretty clever stuff on that build. Kudos to you.

It's extremely doubtful that you were able to achieve 154mph on a naked Buell X1..
That was incredible.
I love just zoning out and watching you work.

You get lots of points for putting the proper Buell decals back on the tank. Makes a massive difference for the bike's appearance if you ask me.
I wanted to do this to my 2008 Buell XB12Scg. Buell is my favorite motorcycle hands down

Sorry I’m a little late on watching, super busy week. The bike is SICK doc! I absolutely love it!! Wayyy sicker than my custom Buell!!
I like to watch people struggle with bolts, clips or whatever. It gives me inner peace to know that, I'm not the only one.

excellent work man !!!
Awesome video and awesome content can’t wait for the next video Thank’s
Best built yet!!! 👌👌
Insane skills....would love to see some performance figures!
A man after my own heart.
You are amazing at this!
We need more footage of all of your projects running! They are all astonishing but we need more vroom vroom if you catch my drift.

awesome man i love people building cool one offs like this
Nice one Jimmy. The bike looks and sounds awesome 👌

nice works .headers work perfect

My favourite thing on this bike has to be the A symmetry with the guages and the honking turbo. Bike looks amazing!

When adding any kind of turbo to any kind of engine does it addback pressure /increase pressure to the engine.
