I'm also thinking of adding one to my iron as well, went to Harley dealership and saw a wrinkle black one on a iron at the weekend, one word, SEXY!
I had a Hypercharger on my Sportster for a few years. I won't say it doesn't work as high-flow air cleaner, but, it's not worth the price. I'll admit that I bought it because I thought it looked cool, but, the novelty wore off quickly. I never replaced it because I spent so much money on it. When I had to take it off my bike to install new throttle cables, I found the backing plate was cracked through and rusting so I switched over to a Ness Big Sucker.
If money's not an object, I'd look into what Joker Machine has to offer...they make really nice stuff.

Do some research...tons of posts online (different forums) w/problems. Bottom line - looks good, but poor performance. One of the best functioning & recommended breather(s) is HD's SE intake. I almost got one for my FLHX, but added vented lowers so it doesn't work. Ended up w/LA Choppers xXx intake which works well too. Good luck w/your search.

Can I also ask (hope you don't mind jisananimal) does it breathe less, more or the same as a screaming eagle stage 1 filter/intake.

It does look very cool, but i couldnt see how it could work better then a Joker a/c or a ness one....i would love the roland sands one but it cost way 2 damn much!!!

I have one on my '98 xl1200c. Breathes just fine. It is more for looks than performance, though. It makes a whistling noise when accelerating hard. You can unplug the vacuum when it rains and keep the butterflys closed. I have a SE heavy breather on my '09 Iron. Looks more industrial and has a rain sock that I usually just leave on all the time. Old school hot rod vs. new school industrial. Joker and RSD both make some nice ones too.
