I agree the black hyper- charger does look good. I also like the look and remarks I get about the hyper- charger. good luck in your decision. it does make it look fast.

- January 06, 2011, 12:42:28 PMQuote from: KD7WCD on October 27, 2010, 16:47:03 PMJust found this video, which may be helpful.I have a Roadhouse 2 –n- 1 and stock air filter on my 2004 1500. I just picked up a Power Commander III (PC III) because the pipe is starting to "Blue" past the heat shields. I believe this to be because the bike is running lean so I bought the PC III to help with this.
I have been looking at the PC III wed site and do not see a map for the set up I am running right now. I did find a Nomad 1500 map that is for a Roadhouse 2 –n- 1 and stock air filter. I think they are pretty much the same in terms of the drive train.
Dose anyone have a map they would suggest or any thought on the Nomad map?

- January 05, 2011, 20:35:16 PMI agree about the looks.... it makes it look faster, but it sure screws up the performance. I have yet to get mine balanced out. Runs way too rich at lower speeds. My bike already had the hypercharger on it when I bought it so I have learned to deal with it. Sure looks cool on the bike though, huh CAV?

- January 05, 2011, 18:50:50 PMQuote from: 1SG CAV on January 05, 2011, 16:06:09 PMThanks for responding so quickly. The Black Hyper Charge on the black bike looks good.The first thing you need to know is. When you install a hyper- charger, the right air cleaner will be removed. The plastic piece that connects both the left and right air filters will end up being broken to get it removed. Then it becomes the land of no return. The installation isn't that hard, but making sure you hook-up the wires right is a big deal. the hyper-charger on the 1500 will stick out quite a ways. making your right leg sit in a weird position. I have long legs so I was able to over come the awkward angle. If you don't have a Power commander installed you will need it for the hyper-charger. Once the hyper-charger is stalled it will cost you allot to reverse back to the original air system, so make sure it's what you want to do. To get the most out of the hyper-charger you should get it dyno'd. I love the way the hyper-charger looks on my ride, just make sure it the way you want to go before you proceed.
This all sounds like what I was expecting. I waffle on what to do with the Left side once the air cleaner is gone. I see that they now offer a fake Hyper Charger with a working butterfly for the hole left behind. But that is just that much more $$$ to the conversion.
I am 6'4" so not to worried about it sticking out.
Is it worth it for the Horse Power?

- December 12, 2010, 11:08:18 AMI too have a PCIII on my 1500, to get it fine tuned you could have it dyno'd check prices in your area. I've done adjustments on mine using my laptop. Then taking it for a ride to see if there was any changes, (good and bad). What ever you do DON"T put a hyper-charger on your ride. If you want to know why AnneOakley and I will gladly tell you our horror stories.

- November 06, 2010, 19:11:42 PMWell I finally got the Power Commander installed. It took more than the advertised 15minets but was not that hard once I can to terms with pulling the tank.
I am using the Nomad map and it is working great so far. I have only been around town to work with it so far but I can see the big difference. I still think I will take it to get it dynoed at some point but so far I am very pleased with it and now have an excuse to get it out a do a run up into the hills.

When you get the chance you need to take your bike to a dyno and get them to map it properly.
