Hypercharger installed

Picked up a used hypercharger from a club member and finally got around to installing it when I returned from a trip. Had the Tornado Ram on it before but I was just looking for another style of intake and I've always like the chargers. No real issue with it hitting my leg, I'm long legged anyways. You definitely feel it against your knee when you brake, not a bad feeling, just different. You can see by the one photo that I even spaced the floor board out a bit to make it more comfortable for my right leg.



Whether it's just my imagination or not, the performance has improved, though I don't know how since the air flow in both units was comparable. It does carry a more throaty sound which is kinda nice. Not much chance this season to ride and really evaluate. Next Spring I suppose.
