Now all you need to do is put some visible throttle plates up front for a proper hotrod bike.

managed to weld a temporary mount together in steel just to see what fits where etc etc.
think i'm going with 60mm pulleys 1:1 ratio in order for the ribbed belt to follow the starter chain route.
up and over 1.5" tube to the inlets .
there's only 50mm gap between charger and cyl block, so inlet will start off going down into the starter motor area and up to the right side
whilst changing over the oil fill casting, I noticed a nut missing off one of the gears

Looks great.
I can't quite visualize what you mean about the inlet routing.
With the crank spinning counter-clockwise and a pulley between crank and the blower mounted with the pulley on the bottom your blower inlet will be the port facing the cylinders.

I'll check again, but it blows out the back when spun anticlockwise
That's the setup used on the supercharged SR posted somewhere previously.
Is that the plan? If there's any way to mount it pulley-up you could drastically simplify the inlet/outlet routing and fabrication.

the issue would be not enough volume in the plenum intake, it will work quite well this way and I'll use the tube to locate the upper mounts. I'm going to do it in steel first and get remade in Alloy or stainless later.
Cool. 
Always looking forward to progress on this one.
The missing nut must a standard metric size?

no, but another forum member off the YOC has managed to source one from Germany.
I'm rethinking this and I think I may run the charger horizontal, gives me more room for a plenum and kick the intake out the back. will have to use a jackshaft in the starter motor area. upgrade the chain to the crank (and the sprocket)
will sacrifice the crank breather area and relocate it somewhere else welding in a spigot, inlet would have to go under the cross bar at the back
thoughts?
Sounds cool. Outlet up, into plenum, then horizontally straight into the cylinders?
A jackshaft should fit nicely in the starter area. Custom fabbed mounts but everything on this is custom so no big deal.
Probably could even reuse the starter chain and gear, just lockup the starter clutch so it drives all the time.

sorry just seen this. No they are standard pistons and bores
At an Impass ATM, i'm locating the charger on its side and need some one who can do CAD for a milling machine
its a bracket to hold the supercharger to the top of the breather case with a hole to take an ally intake tube
any takers?

Wouldn't be able to start until sometime next week but I could give it a shot.
Sounds like you're wanting to use the AMR intake flange mounts to mount the whole thing? Got a sketch and measurements?

yep in the vertical so it should be strong enough. I can also get a mount for the top so it would add to the strength.Wouldn't be able to start until sometime next week but I could give it a shot.

Give us the weekend to come up with something

I can't wait to see this thing all done......we should have a race when we are finished!!

Yes you will need both nuts to ride this......

I've sorted it. wierd size and thread too
Back from the wilderness.
I was looking at my motor and thinking, "why bother keeping the breather cover at all?"
All options are open at this point.
The mounting bracket can replace the breather cover entirely, meaning you can save 1-2" in height and have that much more room to work with for intake/plenum routing.
You'd still want a breather tube but it could be rerouted out the side or back of the bracket.
Food for thought.

that's what I was doing, tube at the side and fed to airfilter. done a rough sketch and dimensions, not sure if it would be easier to do it in 3 parts and by hand and them weld them all together? Just worried about warpage
