Wondering if anyone has one off their bikes right now? I bought a hypercharger "knock off" if you will and I'm wondering if the adapter would fit? I'd prefer to buy one as they're not too expensive but if it's not going to fit then I'll just have to machine one myself. Pretty much what I'm asking is if anyone has the abilitly and time to take some measurements for me? Thickness, size of round hole etc... etc...
Thanks guys

where did you get the knock off and can you post some pics

 

[bigdaddyeo]

It's not quite a "knock off" but it's the same shape as the hypercharger without the butterflies... I'll take some pics as soon as I can.

So I took some pics and measurements today. Here are the measurements.

2.5" thick
8.5" long
6 3/8" wide
The hole on the back is 2 1/4" id
Filter is 5 3/8"

Thank you so much that would be awesome of you. I would make one myself but if I can just order one that would work it would save me a headache of fabing one up.

man i am so sorry my wife kept me shopping all day and when i got home it was dark and really cold i didnt get it off ill try to do it tomorrow but i leave for offshore tomorrow too so i dont think ill have time but if you dont find anything out i promise when i get home ill tear it down dude im so sorry

No worries man, no worries at all... I'm kinda leaning towards getting the adapter anyways. If it doesn't fit then I'm sure I can always find someone to take it off my hands.

 

[sthrnrider]

ive been doing some research and it looks really close i have googled everything i can find on the hypercharger and it looks really close about identical where did you buy it

 

[bigdaddyeo]

I bought it off of Debrix's ebay store... with Shipping it came to 90 bucks. It's meant for a Harley but I'm going out on a limb that most of the air cleaners have a pretty standard size and that's where the adapters come in. Probably a lot easier to stamp out all the same size aircleaners and just make some adapters for different bikes.

 

[sthrnrider]

well all hyperchargers r for harleys i think and i think it will fit i would just buy the adapter and if you have to fab it then sell the adapter in sure some one will take it off your hands dude im so srry i didnt get to it today

 

[bigdaddyeo]

Like I said, no worries at all man. It's Christmas time... we're all busier than normal Given that it fits then I'll probably let everyone know so that we can all start using different aorcleaners then the few we can.

Can you give me the exact listing for the e-Bay store when you got your hypercharger?

Now it's not a Hypercharger but something kinda similiar...

Shop eBay Canada Store - DEBRIX CYCLES Harley Davidson Harley-Davidson Motorcycles HD::

Keep in mind that the one I got is meant for a harley. The one I got looks like it would work but some of them just look completely different.

There is one on there now with a flame front only 88 bucks. Wowsers, that's cheap.

Yup... that's what caught my attention to try this. If it works with the thunder air adapter then we've found a cheaper alternative to the hypercharger. It's not just the hypercharger rip off but all the round hole ones... like the maltese cross, round one, bell ones.... and they're all under 90 bucks!

 

[bigdaddyeo]

There's also a tear drop one with flames for like 50 dollars and it looks pretty cool.
