The first of the recent photos, could you explain more of whats going on right there?
That is the Aquamist water injection pump. Aquamist stopped making those pumps in 2009 so finding parts to fix them is a challenge. Hands down they are the best water injection pump ever made, especially for mounting on a motorcycle. You can read about their current products here: http://www.aquamist.co.uk/cp/cp1.html Their current pumps are made by Shurflo and are almost three times the size.
Are the lines going directly into the jug? Or where do they route frim that location?
Front end looks mean. I like it.
Love the battery/ gauge mount up Eric. A foam pad, how simple, how genius.
The line on the right of the picture is the supply line and comes from the water reservoir shown here. The line on the left of the pump (not really shown but connected to the 90 deg fitting at the left of the picture) returns up to a water jet threaded into the intake plumbing right above the hole in the frame.
WHAT EXACTLY Does water injection do for our bikes. I know a few cars had water injection in the 80S but not really sure what it does for the motor.
Eric!

You need to run a kick ash air box cover to show off the beauty of that bike.
Thanks everyone!
Ice, I would be surprised if adding water injection to a naturally aspirated XB motor (no turbo or supercharger) would be of any benefit, but since I have added a turbocharger it allows me to run higher boost levels and still use pump gas with minimally retarded ignition timing (more power).
Zero, I have considered a translucent cover. It would do great to show off the goodies I have hiding under there:)
