I got one on my 98 Vulcan 800 and with the rejet kit.... Huge power. Found a vid of an 800 vulcan racing against a 500 hp mustang and it takes the mustang on the low end but the mustang takes him on the top end. Not a big surprise.... The bike was an 800... Not much room over 80 mph
I just purchased my 1st VTX 1800 C and I am wondering once I get the hyper charger and look to add the lights, will that drain my battery? It already has lower 50 watt LED lights. Looks AWESOME! Can't wait to get mine on...
get a bigger bike. the 750 doesnt require the amount of air that it takes to open the butterfly. i have an 883 sportster with all kinda goodies (including a 1200 kit) and the hypercharger pro r works fine for me.
Didn't really install them for power gains, I just like the hotrod looks you get from those butterflies. If you want power, go with a tornado. JMHO. rid safe
I have seen a kit that allows you to install 2 hyperchargers on a VTX, but I don't remember if it was for the 1300 or 1800. You can try searching the archives on the VTXOA website. That's where I found it.
I did mine too, but put a switch on it, separate from the other LED's. Not only does the light show forward, but the butterflies cause a flashing effect that cops aren't too fond of. ;0P
I just bought the Pro-Charger after seeing your setup. WOW.... Did you install the jets that came with the Pro-Charger or did you leave in the stock ones? Thanks for your help. The bike looks GREAT!!!!
They are blue "electropods." There are better lighting kits on the market but this was a starter kit that is available for about $70 and it comes with 6 pods and 2 strips. I have three pods on each side and I never even used the strips.
Only if you are old. Actually, the the difference in dB levels between the two are negligible. The difference in the tone I get from the thunder monsters just makes the bike sound like a heavy hitting machine.
You can click on my user name or search youtube for "vtx thunder monsters" to hear a sound clip of my bike with the new baffles. They aren't that much louder. The only time it roars is when I get on it pretty hard.
Good, don't come to my town them, cause my Bubs on my bike are LOUD, and I really don't care if you apprecaite it or not, get some ear plugs then, or go ride in the middle of the state on a farm if you don't want to hear trafic
Good point, fltekdiver. I've got loud pipes on my bike, but I still wear ear plugs for the wind noise. It makes the pipes sound even better because I can hear just them instead of the whirr of the wind.
They are Vance and Hines, Big Shots. When I took this video, they still had the stock baffles in them. I have since replaced the stock baffles with a set of Thunder Monsters.
The LEDs themselves, are in an adhesive strip that I just peeled and stuck to the inside of the Hypercharger. The wiring runs out of the opening in the bottom rear side of the Hypercharger. It then runs up behind the Hypercharger and then up under the tank and back to a switch that is wired straight to the battery.
Not to talk you out of it (as it didn't me) but be careful what you put on for accent lighting and make sure you can easily reach the switch to turn it off (which implies: make sure you can turn it off), as some LEO's don't get down on style for bikes. I have green LED's on my X and I've gotten by, a friend of mine has a combo of white under-tank and yellow in his hypercharger, he's gotten into trouble acouple times. Figure you know your local laws but just a word to the wise.
Nice man. I've done My X with a Pro Series R Hypercharger. I put all green under the tank and into the hypercharger. Here I thought I'd been original!! ha ha. VERY NICE
Thanks, The lights I used inside the hypercharger is just a 10" LED strand that I got from my local auto parts store(PepBoys), The brand was "Pilot" and they only cost me $20. I havn't been able to find the same set online but I found another set like them made by "Electropods." They are packaged in identical packaging and the products themselves look identical so they are probably made by the same people. "Electropods" brand runs a little more though.
the beautfil sounds makes me hungry for some reason...

So where exactly did you place the LED's? they kinda look like they are just inside the hypercharger, along its.. i dunno what to call it.. axle? lol

It is an adhesive strip that is stuck to the inside of the cover. There is a small slot in the bottom of the hypercharger that the wires run through.

How did you go about wiring the leds up since they are in the hypercharger? Where did you run the wires?
Thanks, I would live to do this to my red VTX, it would really set off the look.
