yes ill be selling them soon and the scoop will bolt to your oem hood im also in the process of building them with a dash built in with a a hour meter and places for the neutral and rev lights

I want to get that modded Harley part. The temp gauge dipstick, But it would be cool to have a digital one and have the display on the dash

Ya hmm I wonder how hard it would be to get a read out screen that small

All I could find was this http://www.ebay.ca/itm/LCD-DIGITAL-..._Accessories&hash=item2314da5c41#ht_500wt_922 but I am sure if you could find another one with a wire it would be like for a car which IMO wouldn't be that bad if you knew where to put it.

wonder if you could mold the entire hood instead of just the scoop

Thanks I love my fenders as is they look better in person

After looking at them a bit. I do like them. I guess I am just used to the small ones on the 700, that will be nolonger soon lol

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Dont 700s look like crap with cut fenders

 

[rappy'97]

Here is how I'm doing mine.

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Ah ok i can see it on a drag bike

 

[rappy'97]

Mine will have a +4 or +6 swinger also, so it will look better on it once I do that. ^ And thats a duner, not a drag bike...

 

[beastlywarrior228]

I dont see it handling well with that long of a swingarm, smooth buffs and straight paddles and i like how your raptor is now

 

[wildwillie270]

looks good!

 

[rappy'97]

They go way faster also when they are cut, and look WAY better IMO. It not like I do narrow trails, because they suck, and I'm at 52" wide. I do roads, and dunes, and wide trails.

 

[duneracerweston]

Off topic much? Lol i built one with a dash in it and dose it look good

thats a drag bike for dunes, besides the huge rear tires take a look at the front shocks, they are marvin shaw air shocks for drags

Ok so I molded a dash style and did a little trimming but I'm not done with it here is a pic

 

[beastlywarrior228]

Ok i like that

 

[rappy'97]

Thats a full weight bike. It is pretty much a drag bike now, but then, it was a duner. Here is a pic of a drag Raptor...

 

[elwood]

not going to agrue it with you just pointing out the drag stuff on it

HOLY F. Duner you are the man! I want a hood (plus I still have to send you my cam and product test your skid, hahahah) Anyways, can you Vacuum form the entire hood as one piece? if you can, I will buy one ASAP and pay whatever you are asking! (in white please, but black is fine too) SUPER WICKED. The scoop looks perfect BTW.

For the full hood, keep the scoop hole solid (cut out later) and it doesn't have to have the lower mounting tabs on it, those can be riveted with aluminum after its all cut out. What you have to do is make a mold of the whole thing together, (plaster or molding clay the outside, then once that is done, fill the mold with a casting resin) then vacuum form the mold. (you only need one mold if it is done right) Cut them out and presto. Perfectly seamless custom scooped hoods! Its time in prep, but once you go the mold, your golden.

I will make a template for these for graphics and number plates.
