Have a Baron BAK and love it. Can't speak for the pro hypercharger. The only thing neg I hear about the pro hypercharger is that it gets in the way of your right leg.

HyperCharger is nothing but looks cool. BAK is good but expensive. Get you a K&N RA-077V which is 3" thick x 4.5" high x 7" long and has a surface area of around 59 sq in that is a LOT of air in and cost around $40. I think the BAK has around 54 sq in and cost is around $250. It looks like mine but is wider by 1". Here is the link where I buy mine and they ship fast. http://www.ajusa.com/ There is an RC number that is also this size but the inlet is centered I don't remember the number.
RA-077V Link = http://www.ajusa.com/K-and-N-RA-077V-Universal-Chrome-Filter-a11aa8.html

Re:Baron BAK or PRO hypercharger 1 Year ago  
Both will provide a good airflow gain over the stock setup. Once you get the bike breathing a little better the performance gains between individual airkits is negligiable... Its really just which look you are going for.. I love the Hypercharger look and added the Pro-R HC to my bike. The HC did get in the way of my leg a little too much though.... I went ahead and added a 1.5" extension to my floorboard and now I don't even notice the HC is there...

My bak doesn't come close to my leg, but I understand the vanity. If we weren't concerned about looking cool we'd all have Goldwings!
