Default Off with the Hypecharger (Performance Machine Fast Air Intake Installed)

My bike came with a Hypercharger when I got her. Wasnt majorly keen on it, so shes gone. Heres some before and after pics.

PM Claim up 10 hp gain for this filter. I feel I can definitely feel power gains, but I dont know if thats just me imagining it.

Overall I am very happy with it. PM Contrast Cut Fast Air Intake.

Before



After

Happy with her so far. For those of you that dont know, she was sat in a friends living room for 8 years, had 3500 miles on the clock.

Convinced him to sell to me, and am happy

Did the new AC come with a rain sock? I could see riding in a heavy rain as problematic...

Yes it came with a rain sock. Goes on everytime shes sitting and yes I imagine heavy rain would be a problem but I havent encountered any yet whilst riding

Thanks Hackd. Wanted one just like since I was 15, finally got one this year

Cool. It is a good looking bike and I like the AC. I'm still partial to the hypercharger since its on my bike, but yours looks good.

Thanks Woofron. I think the the Hypercharger looks good on your bike and quite liked mine at times, but I just really wanted the PM Fast Air for some reason

The Hypercharger is much more restrictive than an open filter element such as the Fast Aire. Thus I am sure you are getting more power. More air flow equals more power.
