Anyone know of nitrous and/or turbo kits available in the aftermarket that are designed specifically for an XB12?

Bump....

Nobody has ever done this? I would have thought someone out there would have info as to what's available in the market and/or what'd be involved.

Haven't build a system for a Buell, but is sounds like fun.

depends if it has a carb or FI. From what I understand, the FI cannot keep up with a dry system, and I don't know of any wet systems for FI buells (that does not mean one does not exist;) ). If your Buell has a carb...No problem at all.

I love my nitrous system:D

Good Luck!

Nice bike! WTF is that on your seat?

I am really looking for input on late model Buell options. I know with the sporty pretty much "the sky's the limit" as long as you got the cash. What I haven't seen is much expertise with taking XB model Buells past Stage 1...

That is my backrest folded down. A backrest is good when you run the laughing gas;)

Nitrous on a late model FI may be tricky. The stock FI system cannot adequately accomodate the nitrous. Contact Dan at NRHS, I think he has nitrous on a Buell and it has FI AFAIK.

I have been looking into this also but for a sporty. I see NOS sells a kit that comes with a extra fuel pump for the N20 kit.

Make sure the nitrous kit is for FI. AFAIK, stock FI is not up to the task. Nitrous + Lean = :( :( :( you also need HIGH QUALITY forged pistons:) Most kits are incomplete, at best. Nitrous is not called laughing gas for nothing:) Worth every penny IMO:wonderlan
