Has anyone ever made a Spyder hyper motorcycle?

Like a VMax-like mod

Aerocharger offered kits that fit the GS/RS Spyders...
I guess that they were just about the equivalent of bringing, "A gun; to a knife fight", once you got them dialed-in.
Doc ran his Spyder at Bonneville, and I think that he still holds the record for the 1000cc class.

installing a turbo on a spyder is kinda like installing a turbo on a barn door.. :dontknow:

[Bob Denman]

True... but you end up with one helluva fast barn door! :thumbup: :roflblack:

Are there records kept for the fasted Spyders?

Yes the sanctioning bodies that run the land speed records for the Bonneville Salt Flats keep them. That all I know about that.

This a post from SethO when he ran Bonneville.

Turbo charger post hope this helps

I think that Doc's two-run average might have been a bit over 128 mph... :bowdown:

It was 123.8 mph, according to the link in my previous post.:dontknow:

 

[Bob Denman]

I see that those runs were made in 2013... :thumbup:
I was under the impression that he had gone faster than that. (Although my memory is always suspect! :shocked
Could he have also gone in 2014, and improved upon these numbers?
By the way; thanks for digging them up for us! :clap::firstplace:

Do I recall correctly? There were some serious reliability issues with these engines?

Only when trying to turbo them. The design just isn't a good turbo setup.

As I recall; Doc mentioned that the tuning for them needed to be... perfect! :shocked:

It would be nice to be just a little quicker and hit redline in fifth without a struggle, but you are so close without the turbo already. He's trapped with the confines of a low geared 5 spd transmission, even with 6th, one of those larger pulleys that were available and a thinner larger diameter tire that is available...still 140~145 everytime. Serious crank and piston rework along with a seemingly endless gearboxand/or pulleys would be needed to break free of the Spyders limits.

Aprilia aprilia aprilia. .... answers all the questions and is much quicker and painless than messing with turbo tuning a motor that isn't designed for it.
The bottom end and gearbox are more than stout enough.

Drew,
Didn't one of your buddies build the Aprilia :spyder2:?
If you could get us some details and pictures of it... :thumbup:

It doesn't matter, the crank is the usual weak spot like so many sport vtwins. You need a serious gear ratio/ final drive change or you will always be confined to to the same low speed redline wall. It won't take something with as much output as the aerocharger had to get you there, the spyder gets so close as it is, maybe 2psi max to be a little quicker and hit redline in 5th no problem.
