it offers more flow than stock, but less than a real performance air cleaner. its adavantages are its looks and its good for a mildly upgraded motor like a stage 1, if you want real performance you will not care about the looks and you will use a different product

i think this sums it up well enough do we need more on this subject?

I think you should get a screen door charger like joe has, just watch out for backfires when wearing shorts!

I know you can do a search and in less than 1 minute find a few posts about Hyperchargers from Kuryakyn. I posted a letter from Kuryakyn, and here's how it goes......

"Here is the response I received from Kuryakyn when I sent them questions. Take your time and read it in it's entirety and you will be well informed. Notice that Kuryakyn tells you that certain hypercharger models will start costing HP on certain builds...and that it takes the next higher-flow model to get back to the higher HP."

I won't post the entire letter on this thread because I want you to read everyone's opinions and what they said on the other threads before you make your decision.

Love Hypercharger on my Sporty !. Works real great as I never encountered any kind of problems.

Not trying to steal your thread but has anyone had any issues with the D&M Spear? I really like the look of it, but does it give enough performance to put out 400 bucks on it?

No, the 400 bucks is for the looks. You can get more performance for way less money.
