A friend of mine just bought a hypercharger for his 1100 V-star. He hasn't found a mechanic to install it yet, but has some questions about perormance improvements. Does anyone know how much of a seat of the pants improvement this will make? If rejetting is necessary? How much this affects milage?(milage! you don't put a hypercharger on for milage?!) Also does anyone know of a good mechanic that he can trust this fix to, near Holly,Mi. Thanks in advance, Big Mike

I have looked all over and could not find any articles on mounting these on a Venture, I have an '06. I picked up a pair on EBay which are real left and right hand Hyperchargers from a Harley with a CV carb mount. I have mocked up the right side and the mounting is a lot easier then it looks. I'm waiting for some parts to come in so I can have the right side finished mounted before I start the left side. Now I am mounting these for looks alone and I have no intensions of setting these up to work as ram air intakes because I do not want to cut holes in the lower fairings and route the duct to them. The mount I have working so far is by using the original Yamaha intake mount and by cutting it down to basically a flat surface. After getting it to fit reasonably flat to the Hypercharger I drilled the mounting holes through it using the Hypercharger hole pattern as the pattern. Next I glued a piece of 1/4 inch rubber to the mount this helps cover the rough surface and will allow the 5/8 spacer (5/8" CV bolt pattern Spacer: J&P Cycles) something to seal against. You need around 1 inch spacing between the Yamaha mount and the Hypercharger to get the right side to mount without any interference. I have been looking over the right hand Hypercharger and I noticed that even if you bought 2 right side units (standard with the CV Mount) one of them can be converted to a left using a hot glue gun to mount the screen to the opposite side of the case. This is how they did it and the mounting hole locations are of no difference because of the way I'm mounting them. You need to buy the CV Mount Hyperchargers because they have 3 mounting holes and the back surface is flat and the bolt pattern is in a circumference around the hole. Once I have them completed I'll upload an updated install with pictures. Now as a side note I worked on least a 1/2 dozen different ways to mount these right down to machining my own adapters and mounts out of aluminum. After planning everything figuring prices and not counting my own time I found that buying the Yamaha intake mounts (SKU: 4XY-14431-02-00 $13.00 +/- each) and cutting them to fit (they are a rubber / plastic material) was a lot cheaper and easier, You can cut it with a hacksaw and then belt sand it flat. The CV spacers come in 3 different sizes 1/4, 5/8, and 7/8 from J&P Cycles. The 1/4 inch thick rubber I had but I did lookup on EBay and there is some 1/8 inch thick on the site and with the 7/8 thick spacer it should work just as well. Attached is the picture of the model of the Hypercharger I am using. I also have tried to lookup the left side unit (600178 number on the side of the box) and can't find it anywhere.
