(Original owner) that's been reworked for 12# of boost, factory was 6#. Some years ago I met a guy at the Yamaha booth at a show. He had raced the turbos back in the day. Told me what to do for increased boost. It's extremely fast. Better have a tight grip in lower gears. Also need to get a 71 Sportster running that I haven't touched in years. Last year of the external distributor. Has reversed foot controls like old euro bikes. Makes for fun the first time on after riding regular bikes.
