Does anyone have any positive/negative comments regarding Kuryakyn's Hypercharger vs. Zipper's high flow a/c?  I was pretty set on purchasing Zipper's for my SEFB, but just ran across the Hypercharger (specifically the Pro-R Hypercharger) while surfing the web, attempting to curb my CVO OCD.  I haven't seen many posts on this site regarding Kuryakyn's performance parts, but have seen plenty on Zipper's (hence my inclination towards their products).  I appreciate any and all help.

Thanks for the thread!!  Looks like Zipper's it is.

Just fitted my new wide air filter, I was not overly exited with the look (being able to see 1/2 inch of the filter element) but excepted it. But after going for a ride was even less impressed . I found my leg was constantly rubbing on my teardrop cover. When I get my cams in (still waiting for oil pump) I will Dyno with both filters to see if the gain is worth he pain. I am thinking though the standard width K & N replacement filter is looking like the best option!

Aussie,
How tall are you, even more what is your inseam (leg length). Hope you don't mind me asking. I was told that this filter would extend a little farther then what I have now, but since I'm tall (6'2/3 with a 34 inch inseam) that it shouldn't be a problem.

Also feel lucky that you got the Zippers Filter. After reading your post the other day saying they were in I made appointment to have my cams installed, and thought I should call Zippers to see if my stuff had shipped. When I spoke to them I was told that the filters were still on back order, [smiley=confused5.gif] and I opted to have my cams and other stuff shipped so I could have them for my appointment. I'm now either going to try Arleen Ness Big Sucker or either do like you are thinking and just go with the K&N filter just to get rid of the deteriorating SE element.

I thought the twin velocity could be a better option than the hyper charger . Looks like it has a large filter surface area.

Aussie, although the Zippers would be my top performance choice for standard fit airfilter, being 6 foot given what you've experienced with it getting int he way, I'd stick with the a K&N performance filter Vs the extra depth of the zippers.  The hypercharger is a bug trap and not to my preference.

Hmm, that would defeat my theory then, unless it's the position of your legs (forward controls vs floorboards)? Wonder how it would feel if you still had the floorboards on your bike, but then that's a large price to pay just for a filter (comfort over function [smiley=nixweiss.gif]). One of the questions I had when I heard the filter would extend out farther was the effect of washing bike would have on element? Can you advise if this is a dry filter or do you apply oil like the K&N style?

Dood,
I attached a couple of pics I just took, maybe these will help.
I asumed it was pre oiled as other K & N filters I have bought in the past were & would not need to be re oiled until after cleaning it.(I thought all K& N filters required oiling & was not aware there is a dry version)

Cheers
