Default Arlen Ness big Sucker or Hypercharger

Forgive me as I am new and too idle to search the forum. Bang per Buck, on a 2005 XL1200C, which one do I go for? I am assuming they both need to be taken in and rejetted.

Thanks

Kev

My vote is for the Big Sucker. Hypercharger is chrome, over priced, POS. Someone will disagree, but that's my opinion.

You can find the Big Sucker with a cover for less than $150.00. You can't get close to a Hypercharger at that price.

seriously, there is nothing lame about a hypercharger at all, but as for bang for the buck, i would have to say the big sucker, but I have the pro hypercharger with the stinger vent and have no issues at all, PLUS I LOVE THE WAY IT LOOKS. The hypercharger isn't a power upgrade, but its not the slug that some of these knob's will make it out to be either.

I have the hypercharger on my 05 883C. It looks cool. That's about all the positive i can say about it. I do not like the breather that comes with it, and I hav=d to make the baracket fit. It wasn't even close. But hey, you know what they say about opinions...

If I had the choice I'd go Big Sucker.

I had the Hypercharger on my bike (previous owner install) but took it off.
