But on the upside; there's so little fuel up there compared to how much that Holley is going to use that when in does explode you'll never be that far from home and your local hospital.

Too funny.  Same thought I had.  Even the pleated air filter is tinted to help hide the blood.

Maybe it's pre stained from being used on the previous blower that exploded.....

I don't know MJ.  From the last blower explosion to now it probably got a new air filter.  Too many chunks in the old filter.  Teeth and bone could be picked out, for sure, but the other organics just get all goopy. ???

This is what would happen if I rode it.

With the small tank the bike would run out of gas. The lurch of the stalling bike would cause the belt on the supercharger to jump off. The loose belt would whip around and smack me on the inside of my left thigh. I would veer over in pain and the bike would fall over on me. The open primary belt would then chew up my pants and my leg.

C'mon Mark.  You've gotta think BIG!  Everyone can have a turn!


Here's what would happen if I rode that bike:


Because of the small tank it would run out of gas.
The stalling engine would kick a blower belt.
The blower belt would cause injury and make me lay down the bike.
The spike from the forward controls would poke through a man hole cover.
A man hole cover over an electrical junction.
The short would black out the city
And ignite the gas tank and the fuel in the carb
Blower wheel would blow off and strike the passing by Presidential motorcade
Lobotomizing the President
And the trend would be set and everyone would ride blown bikes from thereafter.

But my pants would still be on fire
But fortunately I'd be saved by a passing cute 20 year old candy striper
Who blew out the fire.

Are you saying you would be screwed if something happened?   :oops: :nixweiss:

The KY car would back out and into the bike and it would fall on me injecting the pointy footpeg thru my calf as the bike caught on fire and the car continued to drag both of us down the parking lot and onto the freeway ramp.  It goes downhill from there but the blower never caused any trouble.  :'(  spyder

I have never really understood the fascination with exposed belts like on the blower.  I mean, what would happen if your pant leg gets caught in between the belt and the pulley?  You see those exposed belts on a lot of the OCC bike.  They always make me cringe.

You don't really think anything like that is built for actual functionality?  That's all about small penis translating to his vision of bad bike.

Im prone to believe the blower will last well past 10 th rpm.
I just cant see that tractor motor running up there for any length of time before it starts sheading parts.
