I’ve got that exact hypercharger, I’ve ridden in torrential ran, never had an issue. The only time the butterflies are all the way open is when you’re under wide open throttle accel. Other then that, they generally don’t open more then halfway. Hope this helps.

Air flows in the …
Air flows in the front, and right out the rear vents.
It’s more looks than performance.
Air filters determine restriction.
Less restriction, more flow to engine.
All engines consume some water vapor.
With this on your Vtx 1800, your not going to blow by my 1800 Vtx stock.

I’m 6’5, I didn’t notice a big change over my stock intake. Your leg will rest against it most likely, but I’m don’t think it will interfere too much with forward controls/pegs. . . That said, I’ve never been on a street bob, so I’m kind of guessing on that. As far as my VTX was concerned, no major changes in riding style for me.

Performance-wise, there are other kits out there that will net better performance, but none that will match it in looks, IMHO. I might have grabbed 3-5HP. Good luck

If you want to verify, see VTXOA, and search Hypercharger 1800 Vtx. The pro members say ditch it for the Thunder Air.
