Default Vacuum hose on Hypercharger 2005 FXST

Hey guys,

I've just bought myself a standard hypercharger for my 05 FXST. The instructions that came in the box were rubbish and the downloaded from Kuryakyn ones were only a little better.
My question is regarding the vacuum hose. i understand that the butterflies are vacuum operated however the instructions give no detail on where to fit the hose to the bike. the only vacuum point i can find if behind the throttle body however already has a vac line on it.

If anyone can give me some advice and possibly a coule of pictures detailing where i should be installing this hose it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again

I had one Hypercharger in my 99 FXST some years ago. If I remember it, the kit cames with a plastic T that was in the middle of the VOES hose. I had to cut the hose and then put the T and connect a new hose to the filter to opperate the butterflies.

As I don't speak English, I really don't know the name of that "T", but I think that you can understand what I'm saying.

This is everything that came in the kit. no "T" piece.
I may have to get intouch with Kuryakyn and see what they say.

Look harder in the box it should be there. Or they forgot to put it in the box. Go buy one 1/4" "T" fitting.

What part number did you get ? According to the website it appears that it should be 9754.
The instructions I saw seem pretty clear that there should be 1 barbed Tee.

I got part 8446 which does say is suitable for my bike. Kuryakyn have some told me that this is the hypercharger only for custom installs. So im missing afew things like the T, correct mounting bracket etc. Looks like im sending this one back.
