Default Kuryakyn Hypercharger breather...

Ok, So I installed the Hypercharger on my 09 "California" Street Glide. the directions call to remove the cap on the vaccuum coming off of the fuel induction module. Problem is, It is not capped on the CA emissions model, it is used and goes to the Evaperator. Would it be best to use a Y connector and hook up both, plug the the removed Evap. line or just disconnect it and leave it alone? Any ideas would be appreciated, Preferably from someone in CA that has installed the Hypercharger on their "CA" SG. Thanks!

Not being a smart *** but the best thing you can do for your bike is to return the hyper charger and go another route. They look cool and IIRC, they don't flow all that well. I have read lots of reported problems with the units and it would seem they are not worth all the trouble.

Your ride; you get to decide. I have never run the hardware, so I must throw in that disclaimer. JMHO but the SE Heavy Breather would be a better choice.

I also don't want to be a smartass, but running that air cleaner will get you laughed at in the circles I run in. Nobody will think that you have Hillborn injection on your Harley.

Default Advice taken.... Thanks!

That's what I like about this forum, No Bull S___. Just good advice. Should have run that by you guys before I bought it. Oh well, Live & learn on this one

If you can't return it, just run a tee (or Y) off the vacuum line. If that doesn't work disconnect the evaporator.

If you can return it do it.

If you like it throw it on-who cares what others like. I have one, no problems at all, and get alot of compliments on it...sets it apart. Then again almost anything looks better than the stock football...IMO !
