Rotrex C15 Supercharger

[Eisenfarn]

Hi, just saw a GSX1400 on YouTube with a Rotrex C15 supercharger installed, looks awesome. Has anyone ever had one of these?. Looked at the TTS Racing website who used to supply these, but no longer sell them. Anyone have any info?, thanks.

No one on this forum has a supercharged 14 to the best of my knowledge.

On the old (now defunct) forum that was the predecessor of this one, the technical admin who ran that had a supercharged 14 called Hand of Fate, but he is not on this site.

I can only suggest if you have seen it on YouTube that you contact the owner of the vid thru YouTube to see if they can advise.

Alternately, contact BigCC racing who do a lot of performance stuff for modified 14's who may be able to help.

my mate who ive not seen for a while has one fitted to k7 same as mine. it looks ridiculous. i rode it only 5 ks, lots of power, just lots. cost a fair bit and looked like a hair dryer hanging off. reason i never pursued or thought about. just awesome acceleration. worried me how drive train would hold up. he dragged it, fouled a plug but ran less than 11 seconds on 3 cylinders. think i was priviledged to ride a rare machine, but never wanted.

Alphadave had one on his bike. He sold his 14 and the rotrex setup separately.
I believe the supercharger ended up in Finland or Iceland.

I was just lookin thru pics but cant find any good ones. Mates was a k6.

Thanks guys, just wondering why TTS Performance stopped selling them, problems perhaps?. I contacted them via email but all I got was a one line reply stating they didn't sell them any more. They used to cost 4 grand if they do the work and 3 if you installed it yourself. Perhaps I'm kidding myself that I'd ever buy one, the K5 I have is a damn sight faster than my last big bike (GT750 kettle) lol, but I would like to know more

Aside from the expense that is the big issue I have with forced induction on these bikes - its freaking ugly !!!!!

agree, totally ugly, not for me. insane to ride, cant remember power but its just lots. not at all scary but just accelerates with such force. back on mine felt so different.
