Is this a fake supercharger set up ?

thanks I choose the FCR carb because it has push/pull cables and rollers on the slide, to make sure the slide does not stick. The supercharger creates alot of vacuum. Also it has an accelerator pump , that makes starting cold very easy, about five throttle turns/squirts and its good to go as the intake length is pretty long including the supercharger. And the pump also gives the bike considerable urge before boost. However that carb is big, and tall, making the fit a pain

The lake injector flat slide didn't get the reputation as a widomaker for nothing
You really do need a push pull setup
 
I cannot think of a reason that anyone would want to supercharge a Commando engine. I was surprised when my 850 engine became fast enough for road racing. All things considered, it has had almost nothing done to it, except jetting and exhaust system. Methanol fuel hides-up the tuning errors. A well-tuned 850 engine on petrol should be as least as fast. When using petrol, normal carburetors do not give enough control over mixture. The power-band of the 850 engine is strange - normally lowering gearing makes a motorcycle accelerate faster. I run very high gearing with close ratios.

Every person on the planet knows that you'd see no reason to supercharge a commando engine!
