TX 77093 (281) 442-7113 THE ULTIMATE SLEEPER Thanks to Mr. Turbo, the fact that this Kawasaki Vulcan 1500 is now making more than double the horsepower of a stocker goes largely unnoticed. That's the whole idea, according to Mr. Turbo who designed an aftermarket turbocharger system for the big Kawasaki V-twin and then hId it between the rear of the engine and the rear wheel. Only the inlet pipe over the transmission case provides a tell-tale clue to what's going on. At the recommended six or seven pounds of boost, however, the Mr. Turbo kit will boost the power output to about 90 horsepower on pump gas. The kit takes a good day to properly install, hut then you can go out and give some of those high-steroid Harleys a real run.

Arrow may be better known as a supplier of hIgh-performance cans to the World Superhike set, but this all-ti system is the same as the one used hy factory Yamaba rider Andrea Bartolini in 1999. And reigning World 500cc MX Champion Joel Smers runs Arrow exhausts on his factory KTM. The manufacturer clanns a five horsepower gain and improved throttle response with the added henefit of a weIght reduction over the stock system.
