Brothers build supercharged chopper
The brothers from Derby City Customs in Louisville, Ky. have constructed a motorcycle with a super charger and a four barrel Holley Carburetor commissioned by a local businessman. The added components rise up from the engine and through the motorcycles RC Components frame.
We had to cut the frame and machine out the mounts to reassemble the back bone, says Jeremy Cantwell. This was the only way the engine still held and the supercharger had a place to sit.
The drive belt for the blower is spun directly off the crank, says Cantwell. This was way out of the norm. We also had to cut and fabricate the gas tank to make it fit.
This custom job is one of six bikes that Derby City Customs is producing in 2008. The companys next project is a 2008 Kawasaki Z10 which will be unveiled at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, Sept. 14. The Cantwell brothers are also filming a pilot for their own reality show for the CW Network.
