Default Dropping the Kuryakyn Hypercharger looking for ideas

I hate the way the Kuryakyn Hypercharger looks on my sportster not sure if the "Hypercharger" is giving me any performance boost but i am looking for a different look. Nothing against Kuryakyn products just the "hypercharger" i have needs to go.

Curious for the forums opinion. and cannot wait to be told to use google [which i have] and that i'm a dumby because i should know everything. I love you guys so go for it.

Open face works real well, and you can put all kinds of different covers on em.'

Those just look like the cover for various air cleaners?

Brad, as far as I know, the Hypercharger isn't doing any good performance-wise. It would be helpfull to know what you like/dislike, to make any suggestions. Arlen Ness is always a good idea. The cheapest and most versatile air cleaner IMO, as you can fit a wide variety of covers on it. I heard that those screaming eagle forward facing AC's (forgot what they call them) will rather hurt your performance as well. Shitloads of AC's of all kinds on ebay.

your sporty has a hotrod look and feel to it.

i'd either go with a velocity stack intake or an open element with a cover of your liking

maybe even an old school goodson air cleaner

Yeah i think the Open Element style is what i'm looking for.

I also want to remove my 3" riser for my handle bars and rearrange the speedometer so I can get some Carlini Apes on it.

Glad you're getting rid of the hypercharger. Never liked the way they looked.
