RE: Hypercharger or Big sucker
I vote with the "No Thanks" crowd on Hyperchargers. I personally don't like the looks but I know they sell lots, and I wouldn't rag on someone for havin one. On a Softail or Dyna it 's one thing, but to me they look way out of place on a Touring model.[sm=badidea.gif]

RE: Hypercharger or Big sucker
I remember a bar discussion about Hyperchargers a while back.
One guy I knew described it this way "a Hyper is something every newbie rider thinks is manadatory on their new Harley, but an experienced long time rider wouldn't be caught dead with"

Odd Contradiction
I ran the hypercharger on my roadstar because I liked the looks of it,but I found that I had to jet the carb so rich to perform well when I was running it hard that i was fouling my plugs every 4 or five hundred miles when just putting around town.Also the hc sticks out further then stock,and my knee kept rubbing it.I switched to the patrick racing oval air kit and that solved both of the problems.

Hi Wiz,
Welcome to the forums
Looks like you found a 9 year old thread...I got socks older than that.
however for those who like numbers, testing by hot bike showed the Hype charger flowed about 16 CFM more than the stock evo air cleaner- the Ness will flow close to 100 cfm more than the hype.
the doors are vacuum operated, and add a layer of complexity - if the doors fail to open or the tubing gets a leak will cause poor driveability.
the mere presence of one of these geegaws indicates an owner who reads bike magazines but does not understand how things work
