A Hypercharger compliments a mullet rather well. It adds 7-10 "cool" factor points when judging an individual's coolness on the trailer park scale.
That was just cold....true but cold!

I copied this from a post on another board a few years ago because I laughed so hard when I read it that I almost choked & I quote:

"Every time I see a bike with a Hypercharger on it several things go through my mind:
- naieve
- also owns an intake Tornado (to increase MPG & HP)
- also puts fuel magnets in the gas tank to increase MPG
- also uses 'magic' fuel additive to increase MPG & HP
- irons creases into his chaps>>>"

On top of all that, they are butt-ugly so why would anybody want one??

Some years ago, the Mr. Gasket company made a "fake blower setup" that people would put on their car so everyone would think they had a supercharged engine. You could take your Camaro, cut a hole in the hood & put one of these on it MR GASKET SETUP

Look familiar?? It did just as much for a cars performance as the Hyper does for a bike (IE: absolutely nothing over & above an SE air cleaner)

Honestly, no offense to anyone who likes them, when I see one on a bike it just screams "silly chrome gee-gaw!" It's supposed to look like something it ain't (off a car no less). I have a friend with a flat beautiful Dyna, stretched tanks, $5000.00 in paint, and one of these silly *** air cleaners. Ruins the whole deal for me. Oh yeah it sounds like a pro stocker, but runs worse than an old stocker.

A lot of better choices out there.

The preceding replies about the value of the "Hypercrapper" just raised my appreciation of this group 7 to 10 points!

xxxflhrci, that's a keeper! Mind if I use it in other groups?............

Boy, I agree 100%.

I can't count the number of times a buddy & I have been checking out a slick looking ride & then someone remarks "it's beautiful, if only they had skipped that silly looking air cleaner it would be perfect, that ruins the whole effect of the bike...."
