fascinating how electric superchargers 'could' work...but almost certainly not in this case.

A 400-4 electrical system is just not going to have the power to generate any real kind of boost pressure...

That was an interesting read👍. Maybe explains why the bike is for sale. At least the standard parts are included. Bike is for sale in Guernsey though so import tax to pay if purchased by someone on the mainland. I'm going through this process at the moment with HMRC for the Z400J I'm restoring.
