RE: hypercharger question
I cant speak for fuel injected bikes but from experience I can say they are impossible to tune right and cost to much for what they are on a carborated bike . some people are more into dressing up there bike than the performance side and that is cool also so if thats your bag then the hyper-charger sure looks cool and definatly turns heads and draws comments. one thing for sure its nice to have options and great having this forum to hear both sides of an idea.

I hear that. I bought one for my scooter, purely for the 'cool factor' and after hearing more about them, I decided against even trying it on the scoot.
Still got it someplace in the garage.
Hmmm, swap meet fodder.

RE: hypercharger question
I've never had one but considered one. From what I've heard and others have indicated here, they are mainly for looks. As far as an upgrade goes, I believe you treat them as any other stage 1 a/c. Nothing really different or more powerful about them, just looks cool.
