Ive got one, as has been said not to bad to take apart, had no problems with mine, got to admit though it would'nt have been my first choice but when i bought my 06 bike there wasnt a lot to choose from for an efi type engine.

I don't think theres anything wrong with the cleaner, like the look, takes in plenty of air, kurakyn stands behind all they make, will serve you well, are there more efficient filters? probally, but if your mortor is stock or slightly heated up, that filter is just fine, worse part is its a little bit of work to clean the element, but I lir the look on the right bike. don't let other's opinions sway you on this, you aren't doing anything bad for the bike by running this filter. if you don't like it, then change it but it is a good filter.

Does yours not have the "trap door" on the side to access the air filter? Mine does, 4 screws and it's accessable.

Of course I can only speak from my own experience but around this neck of the woods, the only thing the HYPErcharger is good for is getting a good chuckle out of your fellow bikers.

thanks for all of the advice. Got out there and took it apart w no problem at all. I figured what the hell if I screw it up I will go to a big sucker or screamin eagle. Got it all cleaned and put back together......And for the 250 bucks that it would cost me to switch it over to something different...Well I figure this is money well spent on gas for riding!
