Supercharging

Guys,

recently I've read about the concept of supercharging. I think it is a great concept. Looking at the Triumph Rocket III for example, you'll increase the output from stock 140hp to 240hp and 200Nm to 270 Nm by installing a supercharger kit. pretty good i think. obviously the rocket is a massive bike and lends itself well for supercharging.

Now, since this is an XT forum, does anyone know if the supercharging concept has been tried on an XT? I'm not a mechanical guy, so maybe there are reasons why this is not possible, but the simple concept of compressing more air in the cylinder to get a stronger performance of the engine should work for any engine, shouldn't it.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
