This might sound like a joke but how do I supercharge or turbo charge my bike

 
As grease rat said to max, speed's just a question of money , how fast can you go?
But, is it at all practical, in my RC world I have seen both turbos and super chargers on 2 cycle weed engines and nitro engines,
Either take power to make power and 2c like rpm to make power,
I've seen people spend a lot of money to do it and personally do not see the bang for buck, I know a guy put a BMW engine in 70s vette, a ton or work and it was slow,
If I had a 2c on a bicycle and normal hop ups didnt hack it i think i would just by motorcycle made to support the speed and power and be done.
 
When I was much younger all my buddies would use radical bump sticks in their low compression basically stock cars, sure they idled like a gagging goldfish which I guess was cool for some but it killed practically.

I admit I do not know bike 2cs well, but if I use the cheap homelites we were hoping up for example,
They only had one support bearing, we tweaked the timing, stuffed the crankcase, used big carbs, water cooled tuned pipes, water cooled heads etc, they screamed and had every short cantankerous life,

Look at bikes here , Johnny's, Gordy, Damians and others, very nice builds,
They are fast for bicycles, my concerns first is stopping,
To stop in an emergency,
I'm babbling, but unless you just want bragging rights of forced induction and dont mind throwing toad pelts at it to make it happen then try a larger engine first, better bang for buck.

I've got more parts to order and a bit more tweaking to do for the new engine, but I just installed a PZ19 carb on my bike. It absolutely rips now. It just broke my drive train that has about 30 miles on it.

If you look I've got front and rear disc brakes. Very grabby.
 
I think I'm just pissed over my quads brakes being crap, at the moment any way,
When I was at the bike shop he showed me cool hydraulic brakes,
But going let's say 50 on a bicycle and you have to stop fast, idk seems spooky to me, I'm sure you can lock them up but then you skid.

You have old drum brakes right?

No replacement for displacement!

Is that a drum brake? You can get a brake shop to reshoe it. I did that with a vintage go cart.

I have cable pull, hydraulic caliper disk brakes on my bike...I can hit over 50 on my bike though I choose not too...lol.

I don't like having to stop and clean the racing stripes outta my undies...lol.

But all kidding aside I have done panic stops on a couple of occasions and they stopped on a dime and left me 9 cents change...lol.
 
I also just changed out the front 160mm rotor to a 203mm rotor to match my rear 203mm which should actually improve my stopping power with a larger front rotor.

I did this when I also just changed out the regular bicycle front fork system to a triple tree fork.
