What you gonna do if your out on the road and need some fuel? With no c16 available. Can it run regular stuff for a shirt time? Carry a bottle of octane booster?

The bike has a series of dip-switches under the hump that select the boost level independently in each gear.  I think Smithabusa and Jailer put it together. It is a work of art.  I can select 15 or 30 lbs in 4th, 5th, and 6th with just the flip of a rocker swith.  1st is always 6 lbs 2nd is either 15 or 20 and third is either 15 or 25.  It is beautiful, if I run low on race gas, I just pull the hump and throw a few rocker switches and I can run 93 octane on 15 lbs of boost until the cows come home.   :tu: :tu: :tu: :bike:

This thing is slicker than Marilyn Monroe was back in 1960.........well, not really, but it is close.   :bike:

There are a total of 5 solenoids and switches under the hump..................it really is flexible.  

If you had to build this bike today, you would spend at least 30 grand or more.  Jailer literally gave it to me.  He is my hero.

Here I have a connection through Hank Thomas Racing for Sunoco Maximal at 116 Octane.  It is expensive.  15 gallons is 200 bucks.  :eek:
At least its not Nitro, that 15 gallons is about $700

And in the worst case if your stuck in the middle of nowhere except for mom and pop regular the bike will run fine just stay out of boost

Good point.  Very good point.  I knew there was a reason I have you on my payroll.   :thumb:
