I'm calling the patent law police! You ripped off the Voxan design.POLICE.POLICE!

Kidding,now if you can get the bike to engine torque when you snap the throttle that'd be cooler yet.'Ya know,like a top fuell funny car's shaker scoop torquing under throttle

Interesting!

What work have you done to the inside of the air box?

What does that Hypercharger mount onto?

Does it hit your chest at speed when you're tucked in?

The chrome sticks out like a sore thumb! You need to powdercoat it black or something.

If it works cool, but that would bother me having that on my tank. I think it would take me a while to get used to not seeing it out of the corner of my eye.

Careful,
You will suck your nipples off when you tuck in.

Are you using an XB air filter? More details and pictures, please? I've read bad things concerning the performance of the hypercharger?

I had a Hypercharger on my '04 1200 Sportster, and it wasn't enough air cleaner for that bike - I don't think he's gaining anything for performance if he's pushing all the air through that little hypercharger filter.

I had a Hypercharger on my '04 1250 Sporty, same problem - plus it began to squeak and it was heavy as hell. No thanks, been there, done that!

Get your freak on, bro. If you like it, that's all that matters.

I think it's ridiculous, but don't let it harsh your buzz.

I've made a new air filter cover. An inner and outer plate with a nipple. I've mounted the new cover to the frame. Then I made a spacer of 3 cm and put it in the center of the cover. If you want, I can show some pics.

Nice, Speedy! Again, not a fan of the lone-chrome object, but execution looks great!

However, it'd probably help if you had a Lightning fairing instead of the Firebolt one... you're redirecting all your precious air over it instead of into it!

I'd love to see some pics from underneath the cover.

I'd like to see those pics too : ).

I've got a flat black hypercharger laying around collecting dust that I was thinking about doing just that with.

if you run the "pro" hypercharger with the larger filter, it will breath plenty. i have the pro add on installed on my S3, it breathes just fine, ask ferris as i blasted past him at over 120! his poor S2 was pegged.
