Never seen that airbox cover with the hypercharger combo! looks beastly! Does it have plenty of honking intake noise now or what? dig the flyscreen and the scoop too, is it a production peice or did you make it?(the right-side-scoop) I've never seen that one before. looks like its for your oil cooler?  cheers on the winter work tho! | ||

I also have an Hypercharger kit on my bike for the airbox cover, but I don't get the utility of this one with those 2 additional airscoops. if the system is good, you should have a snorkel going from the hypercharger to the heads, in order for the vacuum effect to open the filter butterflies, so why those 2 additional airscoops? | ||

Sweet set up bro...I was wondering the same thing that Italian said. Looks maybe? Italian job, I was at Brandon H/D's bike night last night. I can't remember the guys name, but is the guy with Born to Ride who presented your trophy at Rat's Hole. I was talking to him and he actually remembered your bike and said it could possibly be the nicest bike he has ever seen in that class. Wanted to let you know... | ||

Those tho additional airscoops are for cooling the cilinders heads. The hypercharger doesn't make much noise but it gives much lower sound to the bike (i just love it). I did the flyscreen by myself. and remade the airbox from kompotech. The left side air scoop with the new oil cooler is from kompoteach. Right side scoop is coming from painting (Well all the painting i did by myself) that's why it isn't on. Lights: I have a special closed system of hi/low projectors with digital xenon lights-preatty expensive! | ||

Firebolt32, that is the nicest compliment you could possibly tell me, that makes me proud of my project! I went to the bike night down here in Hollywood wednesday night, for the first time with my XB after a year and a half I couldn't drive it because of the mods, and I must say that when I showed up, people went nuts!!! there was a very nice pretty customized Speed Triple parked right next to my bike, but it actually disappeared after I parked my Ghost Ride! I got all the attentions of the crowd and tons of people shooting pictures... sometimes I just forget how unique is that bike because I have it every day in front of my eyes, but these things remind me what a one-of-a-kind-bike it is... thanks again for letting me know what judges and people in the biz thought about my bike also! |
