What do ya'll think :dunno:  I think its an interesting idea and looks well made but its kinda like the ones they make for cars that are all b/s.

Well it kinda make sense, people are always looking for air-filters that allow more flow, I guess this is kinda like an air filter that pushes air in.
I would'nt run out and buy one, I just don't see that worken all that well.
I guess I can kinda see the theory, but no thankyou to that

Ok kids if you want to go faster or have more horsepower get a 600, 750, or 1000cc bike.

the fan blades would probably cut off more air than they forced into the engine at higher speeds. if you want forced induction for the gs just run a duct around to the side and strap a cone filter on it and call it a day.

It's a Blower not a Turbo. Blower do what it's called and blows air into the engine. A Turbo uses the engines exhaust to turn a fan that blows air into the engine. So this is a Electrical blower motor, and not a turbo.

superchargers and turbos also compress the air not just push it to force it into the engine. so unless this thing has impellers and some other neat gismos its basically a huge waste of money and time to put one together
