Somehow this guy ended up regularly posting on the Minnesota mopeds facebook page when he was building and working on this bike, even though he wasn't in MN. The "supercharger" was a smog pump from an 80's vehicle. The only video of it ever running was just at idle. Who knows if it ever even moved under its own power. He thought it was somehow related to a Ducati because some stock Tomos magnetos are Ducati branded. It had a super basic airsal kit setup and he made ridiculous claims on speed and HP. We tried to help and ultimately ended up roasting him because he wouldn't listen to anything we said.
Last time it popped up he was trying to sell it as a "vintage salt flats racer". He had artificially weathered it and it was all rusty. Claimed to not know anything about history of the bike but it was the same guy who built the damn thing. 🙄
