Default Super chargers

Man, have been reading about these alot. Seems turbo lag on a motorcycle can be scary and a super charger would be more of the appropriate route. I am soooooo tempted to take the dive.

Anyone have any knowledge on these? Life of the super charger, possible wear and tear on the engine? I think it would easily put me over the 100ft-lbs mark for torque and probably 120hp for my Buell. That is very tempting.
