I thought that the  1800'S were fuel injected , thus no jets.

I would go with the K&N unless you just like the looks of the hyper charger. Correct Steve, The 1800 is FI but you already knew that.

K&N way better performance wise. Best to make the mods you plan on doing with both intake and exhaust. Pick up a powercommander and then have it mapped.

+1 for K&N

I've had a Hypercharger for years...  and it has always been in the way of where I would like to place my knee while riding...

I have a k&n in my hypercharger. I personally don't have a knee problem with my hyper, but maybe it was made just for me  ;D.

Just my .02,

Performance wise the K&N is definitely better.  The Hypercharger is great for looks.  All depends on which you want more, performance or looks.
