Installed my Hypercharger today

Pretty cool toy, for sure. I am waiting on my main jets to get here so riding will be limited for awhile, although it does seem to run very well and takes the throttle real fast. I have the carbs set up as best I can without the new jets so we will just see how it goes.

Thanks man, ya it had a few "boo boo's" alright, all better now though. I am just waiting for the carb jets I ordered to get here and will do a re jet. Bike runs hard but now it wants to break up a little at WOT. The re jetting will fix that.

Thumbs up Re: Installed my Hypercharger today

is hypercharger diff type of forced induction? like supercharger or turbo? and i was wondering is that why ur changing jets and you going larger or smaller? i luv to ask a lot of questions i know , but i like the looks on that .......last question do they have a web site to check out what others they have out. i could use a good replacement for my dual carbs. or find a nice pair of carbs that are matched . it took me a while when i first notice i have 2 lefthand carbs or 2 righthand more like right cause its easy to find adjs. on the right hand side.

what next Kev add a little nitrox bottle ?

Re: Installed my Hypercharger today

Hyperchargers are carburation on demand, unlike turbos or superchargers that force air into the engine, hyperchargers allow as much air as the engine wants at any given point of throttle position.
A hypercharger, along with a wide open exhaust will add a few horsepower.
The best thing is the instant response of the throttle.
I ran one on four of my Harleys, was one of their first customers, I have one now I hope to fit to my Roadstar.
