It should... but you may need a spacer. Not much praise for the hypercharger on Buells as I understand it. |

No problems, other than perhaps reduced knee clearance. No documented HP info. If it were me I would be going for the race CF "ham can". |

Just looked at your profile pic. Looks like your exhaust is just a chrome tip attached to the header? |

I have a Hypercharger Pro on my M2. I took the butterfly stuff off of it because I thought it was cheesy and added weight, but other than that it works great, in my opinion. No performance problems. I doubt a forcewinder makes much if any more power. Al at American Sport Bike can hook you up with a spacer, and anything else you need to mount it. |

Chrome tip was the way I bought the bike. I have the factory muffler on it. Looking at the Vance and Hines slip on mufflers they have on ebay. Thanks for all and any advice. Garrett |

I just replaced my Forcewinder with a race kit CF filter and I'm not too sure I like it. My knee's going to smash that filter cover eventually. I don't like the Hypercharger because it's a fake chrome decoration designed to look like a fuel-injection unit. It's anathema to my sense of aesthetic, and doesn't give you any benefit like the Forcewinder does (great knee clearance!). Of course, if you have a big giant wing on your car, a Hypercharger would be perfect for your bike. |

Garrett....the FIRST thing I'd do is get a proper exhaust on that bike. It's too beautiful to the motor with a bad exhaust. Second...the race air cleaner has been proven to be the most effective intake for the Buell motor. There's something about the "still air" that makes these bikes work. Check in the knowledge vault for dyno tests with all the different intakes and exhausts. BTW....That is one beautiful S1W!!! Here's mine before the rebuild that is in progress:

I really like the look of the Hyper charger but would never get it due to how much it would intrude in my knee space. I went back to the stock intake just to be rid of the race can's intrusion to my ride. Got sick of banging my knee or having to slide back to clear my right knee... -Mike |
