Default hypercharger

I have used a hypercharger on my sportster and superglide with dissapointment. At crusing speed there is a flat spot. I know that upping my main jet on the super e will get rid of it, but dosen't that kind of defeat the purpose? Looking for a way to get it to perform.

Get it Dyno tuned. Find out who has a good rep in your area and they will take care of the rest. Not sure if you had it done in the first place but when you start tinkering with air cleaners, carby's and exhaust, you should always get the bike Dyno tuned for optimum performance. I have a hypercharger on my bike and it didn't cause any trouble. I installed it no worries and no noticeable troubles with the bike. next day got it on the Dyno and she runs sweet! Definately get it to the Dyno!

No flat spots on my Night Train. I do however have a complaint of how it sticks out farther than the OEM cleaner. This causes me to have to reach for my rear brakes. [:@]
