Updated Hypercharger - tests show big HP and Torque gains

One of the core products on which Kuryakyn was founded back in the late 1980s , the Hot Rod inspired Hypercharger was ahead of its time back then , and as a product that , along with S & S , did much to define and create the concept of the performance intake , it still is a strong seller . Kuryakyn says that they have sold in the hundreds of thousands of units to date worldwide , but now “ the journey has come full circle with the official introduction of the revolutionary Hypercharger ES . “ Representing the evolution of one of the industry ’ s most iconic products , the Hypercharger ES
showcases modern updates in both style and performance . The radical new design features stateof-the-art electronic butterfly engagement , delivering precise butterfly movement compared to vacuum-operated fluttering . “ An integrated servo motor that connects to the coil actuates and opens the butterflies with every twist of the throttle , creating an interactive experience between rider , air cleaner and motorcycle that is unlike anything else available .” The company says air delivery is maximized through an all new Kuryakyn designed high-flow K & N filter element with a larger surface area that combines with an internal stinger design on the filter ’ s end cap to result in approximately 10 percent more airflow , improved CFM rating and increased horsepower and torque versus previous Hypercharger models . Kuryakyn says that third-party dyno tuning performed on a stock Harley-Davidson 107 cubic inch Milwaukee-Eight Touring model produced an 8.5 percent horsepower increase and 3 percent more torque , with peak gains seen at 5,000 rpm . “ The Hypercharger ES ’ aggressively styled modular housing is constructed from high quality A380
PARTS AND ACCESSORIES
aluminum , offered in three finish options . The modular design allows easy customization with Kuryakyn ’ s classic faceplate kits ( sold separately ). These interchangeable faceplates feature a fully fluted design with laser-engraved Hypercharger ES emblem to completely alter the style in minutes . Volume production for the Hypercharger ES is slated for early September with fitment for all ’ 99- ’ 17 Twin Cam and ’ 17 Milwaukee-Eight models , with XL Sportster applications to follow soon .
