Looking for some reviews on how the fit is, does it get in the way of your knee while riding?? How much further does it stick out than the stock air box???? Also, what kind of noticeable difference in performance/mileage are you getting?? ANYTHING helps.. THANKS!!!!!!!!   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/02/04 12:42 By Roadie1700.

It is thinner than stock and my leg (knee) does not hit it like it did hte stock air breather. The BAK is tucked under the gas tank   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #456688 Roadie1700 (User) Ride to Live and Live to Ride!!! Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:2008 Roadstar - Hypercharger or Baron Big Air Kit? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   did you look at the hypercharger? I think i'd be happy with either.. I like to vacuum flaps on the Hyper, I like the looks of the scribing on a BAK I saw...   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #456697 Curt (Moderator) Never to old to ride!

The BAK has more surface area so it get more air. Got tired of the chrome getting scratched on a high dollar air cleaner so I went with much cheaper ($40) K&N that performs just as good or better.   Logged     My Site Black Ice is Shiny, Black Ice is Deadly, Ya Wanna Ride My BlackIce?   The administrator has disabled public write access. #456698 zoom1056 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 606 Re:2008 Roadstar - Hypercharger or Baron Big Air Kit? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Like the looks of the hypercharger but seen too many here taken off cause they get in the way. So I say no to the hypercharger cause it gets in the way and the BAK is just that TOO big and takes away from the looks of the motor. Some here like the maxair other like just a K&N filter. The K&N is my choice and this winters mod. Alot cheaper too.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #456701 greenpus (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1674 Re:2008 Roadstar - Hypercharger or Baron Big Air Kit? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Roadie1700 wrote: did you look at the hypercharger?

I can't tell you it improved hp and gas mileage because i have a carb and you have FI. When I installed the BAK I also rejetted my carb and my gas mileage increased from 32 to 48 mpg. You can't go by that becuae my bike was jetted wrong anyway.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #456725 old dog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1601 Re:2008 Roadstar - Hypercharger or Baron Big Air Kit? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Get what you like,the Pro series will give you more than enough air.The bottom is also open to give you more breathing.It does stick out about an inch and a half more than the BAK.Or go with the $45 cobb job. Any of them will work. bill   Logged     110 cu in., PR/JE 10.25:1 HC pistons, PR Cam, PR adjustable push rods, PR stage II ported heads (2mm oversize valves)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #456777 Roadstar_Rob (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 132 Re:2008 Roadstar - Hypercharger or Baron Big Air Kit? 3 Months, 3 Weeks ago   To each his own right I was on the fence and just ordered the Pro-R Hypercharger.. Installed it this afternoon. It does stick out a little bit but it doesn't bother me. I've sat on a R* with one mounted and didn't think anything of it... Both the BAK and HC are going to provide plenty of air for the bike. Fuel mileage differences with both will be negligible as will performance. I think a BAK equipped bike vs. a HC equipped bike with all other things being equal will 0-60 nearly identical. Unless you're getting into the engine and adding Speedstar Cams, Throttle body and High Flow Injectors either airkit is going to work very similar... IF you we're doing the Speedstar intake mods I would reconsider the BAK... Rob   Logged     2009 RoadStar   The administrator has disabled public write access.
