    Finally got to take a trip to Kaplan Cycles on 7/3/2024, which was a dream come true for me, as I live in Reno, NV. While I didnt get to meet Ken Sr, I did get to meet Ken Jr and let me tell you that was the icing on the cake. Such a nice guy and absolutely as professional and respectful as they come. The museum was definitely the highlight of my vacation. I can't wait to come back and see what awesome machines they acquire in the meantime. Thank you to the Kaplans for your hospitality.

    I have a little tip/ idea for you Ken! The sidecar racing people in europe have been racing bored out 450s in their sidecars for a few years now. The maintain the bolt pattern of the engine. I think the guy who makes them is named paeckli. But you could reach out to Etienne bax for example, he has been running these engines successfully for years. I think that would make a crazy swap motor.

    How about an additional shower injector set up to kick in at.mid revs? That allows use of the stock injector for good low rev response, shoupd solve the need for more fuel up top.

    @braxton This maybe a dumb question but doesn't e-85 fuel have ethanol in it? I wanted to ask as I have a KTM 300 xc smoker with a keihin carb and my local shop said stay away from putting e-85 in your Katoom 300 smoker because the ethanol gums up the carb big time! So I always run ethanol free fuel from Sunoco or a VP ethanol free fuel and my 300xc is running great!

    Are you going to figure out a way to put it where the number plate is below the bars ?
    Or does the turbo need to be closer to the motor?
    It be better if you can get it more balanced with the bike central
    I’m guessing this is more prototype
    Design a bike around the motor & turbo balanced perfectly like Indian Larry would say

    The reason that the stark dynos at 60hp because they’re putting the correction factor on there an electric motor doesn’t work like an engine so it doesn’t need it. I guarantee you that Stark makes 80 hp on a dyno not 60 only one way to find out though get another stark or someone with a stark and put it on your dyno ,should be interested to see , they definitely make a SHIT ton of torque got the pleasure of riding one last Friday
