Stage I compared to HYPEr-Charger give your money to MoCo on this one.

 

So, 9 years later how are we feeling on these? Are they still shitty from what I read earlier in the thread?

 

Yes, I'd like to know also if there are improvements made.. ten years is a long time...

 

Old thread, but basically replies from people who haven't the slightest clue with actual hands-on use, just opinions. I've had one on my 1200 Custom bobber for about six years without a hitch and it performs great! I don't ride in the pouring rain, passing logging trucks, but even if I did? No more water gets into the Hypercharger than any other air cleaner., it comes stock with a K&N air filter. If you like the look, go for it!

 

I hear they add about 50HP +/-.

 

I have one and like. I disconnected the vac line and used a golf tee to plug it. Flappers are always open as a result. If you look at the bottom rear, it has a ~2" x ~.375" slot for water to exit. No different than any other forward facing air cleaner cover.

 

Post is15 years old but. Record for resurection? These things are like putting pockets on underwear! 50 HP, OK.

 

Nice Zombie Thread resurrection, but if you felt it necessary to chime in - good for you. Personally, I still think they're one of the poorest designs w/ intake options b/c the flow isn't clean - like most of better "open" a/c's. Whatever floats your boat tho...

 

Bet you need jokes explained to you.

 

Not a resurrection record because officially it goes back to the last post on the thread and not original posting. So in this case the op was in 2005...definetly would be a new record but because there was a few posts in 2015 it is technically "only" a 5 year old revival. Just for the record, the record is 14 years 9 months 17 days. As far as the hyper charger goes its not my style so unless it did in fact add 50 hp i wouldnt put one on my bike.
