    The Hypercharger is a poor mans Ram Air System. It’s not very efficient but if it was, it wouldn’t work for our rides. As the air enters through the front, it actually has the ability to pressurize the Carburetor venturi to the point that fuel flow will be cut off. So we had to come up with a method to compensate for the additional pressure.

    After a lot of research and contact with some of the Hypercharged Kawasaki Vulcan guys, (Hi Tweek) I found a solution. Pressurize the float bowls to keep the pressure in the bowls slightly more positive than that of the venturi, ensuring a stable supply of fuel at all speeds from idle to full throttle. Amazingly, it works quite
    well.
    Here is a website about installation, with pics, and heaps of info. on it. Hope it’s what your needing.
