Default forward facing intake?

I swear I've seen this for a sportster but don't know what it's called... It's an intake that is closed on the rear, top, & and bottom and on the front has two open holes -- kind of like a scoop on a dragster.
Anyone know what this is called or if it really exists? I might have dreamed it...

I believe its called a "hyper-charger". I've never seen one on a Sporty, but I have seen them on Softails.

I haven't used it but some of the reports I've seen here previously indicate it's nothing special when it comes to performance. If you what it for its looks and ok performance go for it. If your just looking for a good high flowing A/C there are other less expensive choices.

It's the Hypercharger. I have seen them on everything from Sportys to baggers.They do look cool as heck.My wrench tells me they are not all that and a bag of chips.Personally, I like the looks and performance of the Forcewinder.

I have one on my 883. Notsure if it made any difference, when I bought the bikeit was installed. I like the look of it.
