Got a crazy idea? You should do it, and do it all over the place. I wouldn't expect anything less from a guy named Lucky "Oi, we should cut two cylinders out of a Merlin aircraft engine and put it in a bike ay?" Keizer. He did that, wait, how did he do that?
By making his own crankshaft and then bolting a GM 3/71 supercharger to it later. What he has is a 5 liter v-twin with 4 valves/cylinder and around 500 horsepower, all weighing 330 pounds, or as much as a 600cc sportbike. This engine also uses the nitrous super-power. Let's hear it start, or try to not start. It finally does good at around 2 minutes.
If this were in your chopper, it would sound like it was powered by an army of small caliber revolvers. A Merlin's redline was around 3,000 rpm.
