They suck, plain and simple. If you have 300 bucks to blow put it somewhere it will actually do something, JMO.

I've always been told that hyperchargers were more for looks than performance, so I'd say none of the above.

the basic "Blood Groove". I like this because you could put a black insert in the charger itself which might look good on my black bike

The "Pro Series"

or the "Pro R". I do like the solid chrome look of this one too

Thanks for the input
Sorry this another 'don't do it man', get a proper air cleaner ... just my 2c

Wow. Thanks for all the input. I am reconsidering, somewhat. I did really only want it for looks and not performance. Call me stuck in the muscle era, but I still think stuff like that is cool. As long as it will keeps functioning in the years ahead and does not hurt performance, I still like them.
