Well I have been going to do this for ages, but never got around to it.
Made a start today.

For instant car park cred, you also want some masking tape marked DANGER! along the 6k rpm line on the rev counter.

I have decided the bottle fits better on the other side of the bike. No rear brake bits in the way.
Clutch! if it goes it goes LOL
RB Racing's turbo is putting out over 200 BHP, I am sticking to about 125, or trying to LOL
I said that when I ran nitrous on my Yamaha Exup, ended up with 100 BHP boost

It wont be the clutch, more like the drive shaft/uj.

It will be fine, they are way over built. Anyway I ain't the first. Hell this guy is even from Yorkshire.

It is the only way your boxer will produce so much power for so little cost.
I have used nitrous on many things and not broken anything yet, all you need is restraint LOL, MUCH harder than you think.

How much does it cost to fit? And is it about £6 a bottle to fill still?

Refill is about £6.50 per pound. My cylinder is a 2.5 lb
you can buy a full system for about £500, but I make my own for much much less.
Cheaper than an exhaust system, and real power increases

There are a lot of car accessory shops that do refills, you know the kind that do alloy wheels, body kits etc etc.
You would be amazed how many cars run nitrous. Next time you see some young kid driving a lowered Vauxhall Corsa or similar with some huge exhaust, just remember about 50% of them will have a bottle in the boot at the side of their boom box.
