I've sent an emial to Cycle Gear to find out how somone that doesn't have a local store can order the item from them when the item is not on their site. I'll post back what I find out. Unfortunately, K&L only sells through distribution, so you have to go through a retailer like Cycle Gear.

Yea, I see where you're coming from. That would be a tricky thing I'm sure. I think if I were thinking about Forced Induction, then I would only attempt on a fuel injected bike. That way you'd have more control over the fuel mapping given the various pressure changes within the intake system.
But I like the way you think....
PS
This is going to date me, but years ago a friend of mine put a supercharger (not turbo) on a 1978 CB 750 Four. It was fast, but basicly unridable. The difference between off boost and on boost was drastic. He could really light up that rear tire a will. I hadn't thought about that in a long time...

Fwiw the guys on the hawk forum have been chucking the stock pumps in favor of the vacuum operated mechanical pumps from the first gen sv650. Both options seem to cost about the same
i cant find this part anywhere online. my switches are messed up haha i definately need new ones the ones in my pump right now do not even work. my bike died and i thought it was definately a fuel issue. i opend up the fuel pump to see the contacts and shorted the relay so that the pump would always be on as long as the ignition was on (as it said to do in the haynes manual) . it sparked for 3 seconds and then just died and hasnt turned on since.
