New Harley Supercharger Kit by HD Blower - Thoughts?

  • July 26, 2013 12:01 PM PDT
    Greetings Community Members ...

    We are almost done developing a brand new supercharger kit for the HD twin-cam engine, and our inaugural test bike is our own Softail Blackline. Would love to hear some of your thoughts (and questions) on how it looks so far. I will definitely keep you posted as to the performance numbers as they become available.

    We are waiting for an additional part before running her on our dyno. We invite you to check out more of the developmental stages on our website at www.HDBlower.com, and LIKE our Facebook page as well!

    Thanks in advance for looking

    Here is a rendering of a bike in OEM fashion w/o our blower kit, and a pic with our kit installed.



    Here is a picture of our Softail on the dyno waiting for her first pass.


    Here is a picture to show the size of the supercharger next to an iPhone for comparsion.

    @Brewer - Thank you for chiming in, and trust me when I say 'I don't know yet' ... LOL.  In all seriousness, the final cost of the kit will probably be determined after the engineers conclude all of their testing, and decide on what will be 'standard' and what will be 'optional.' 
    We will definitely keep the community posted, especially as pricing information becomes available.  Stay up to date with the current developements at www.HDBlower.com.

    @DagoKeith - Greetings, and thank you for looking!  Absolutely!  As soon as they become available,  I would be more than happy to share them with the community.  We estimate the kit should be able to make over 135hp to the wheels (at approximately 13psi of boost), but our targets for the final production kits is to reliably make somewhere between 100 to 110hp at 8psi boost and have the power to come in smooth and linear starting from 2000rpm all the way until redline.

    I invite you to stay up to date by visiting our website at www.HDBlower.com, or check out our Facebook page.  Thanks again!

    Will this fit the ride by wire bikes? It looks great, very similar to Woodys back in 04. It never made it for some reason, hope you have more luck.
