It's a lot of work putting a blower on a bike. I've seen several: V-max, Fat Boy, Electra Glide, Gold Wing and a Susucki 400. Somebody is woking on a kit for the V-rods. Since I can't afford it, I don't pay much attention.
However, when I get my Chevy S-10 based hot rod with a 327 near the done point...

The Supercharger is more complicated, I would rather go that route myself. I just installed the TRD supercharger on my Toyota FJ Cruiser.
On a bike you need to run a pulley and belt to spin the supercharger, that normaly means a special pulley and cover of some sort. V&H I believe has a supercharger for bikes, along with a couple other manufatures, they are pricey and complicated though.

I can save youse guys some $. The Kawasaki ZX14 comes off the show room floor with 170 HP for about 11 thousand. Some creative welding ought to allow the ZX motor to fit into the V-Rod frame.

This just gave me a big belly laugh...sorry. The turbo and the blower sound like pretty cool custom projects nevertheless.
