I don't know how you could reverse the cylinders but Harley is clever.
The clearance issue would not be the wing thickness. The superbandit wing they are designed for is the same thickness. The issue is the hole mounting pattern, the gear mount depth in relation to the wing and mainly the clearance for the operating cylinders (but you said you are going to reverse those so that would not be an issue).
I was not referring to the main hatch but the cheek inlet cowls. You have to glue them on in a classic bandit. I just liked to reinforce the back side of that joint.
I would not run without a bypass but of course that is your business. BVM flow path engineering is the best. And your turbine is much safer in a crash. And that thing will be very fast and I am not sure I would trust all of that ram air to find its way out of the fuse without popping hatches off.
