Not Ebay, but a chap on the Superhawk forum is selling a turbo setup.
Ready to plug and play; (alright, maybe you'll have to fit low comp pistons) but 200Bhp or more.

$800 plus postage.
Cheap enough....

how long would you expect the engine to last mate with this power output? would it damage the rear of the casing with that power

Yep, after a while. But only if you use all the power, and remember you can choose how much boost to use, therefore how much power it produces.
But frankly, anything less than everything is a bit of a waste, unless you just want the bragging rights.

So the frame bracing ears are a definite necessity.
But as you'll have to take the engine out to fit the low comp pistons it'll be easy to do while the bike's apart.

these might go cheap, they would need servicing if you were to put them on a storm anyways....

Jeeez how many products do you need? I've always found washing up liquid can do 90% of those jobs.

Washing-up liquid has got salt in it, so is corrosive in little cracks and crevices even after rinsing and drying.
If you rinse with a hose or jetwasher you should be ok, but I'd avoid washing up liquid, really.
Cheap car wash is not much more expensive and much kinder to your hands, no, sorry, bike.

Entirely up to you of course, just my opinion.
It's not as though I have that much of a regular cleaning regime :oops:
