Mountain Fit Hood - Installed

Finally finished installing the Mountain Fit Hood on my 1100 Proclimb. This hood came with the optional headlight shelf that blocks off the headlight area and allows it to be used as your intake plenum. All the vents came with the hood as well as the shelf. Hood took a fair amount of trimming and some ingenuity was required to trim and install the headlight shelf as well as mount the gauge and find a solution for the key and 12 volt accessory plug.

I could have used the moulded locations on the hood for the key and 12 volt plug however I didn't want to have to worry about the wires penetrating the intake shelf and potential sealing problems.

All the rivets in the headlight area were treated with silicone to prevent the pull tab from falling in to the intake area. As well I added some pre-filter material on the fitting I used to attach the flexible duct between the intake plenum and the factory turbo 90 degree elbow.

I haven't put any more than 1 or 2 miles on with this hood so no real reviews yet. It is significantly lighter than the stock hood. As well the intake and EVO BRV valve noise is significantly quieter. (not necessarily a good thing as I love the sound of the EVO BRV valve at work while I ride)

Anyway, BRV noise aside I feel the hood looks really great and thought I would share some photo's of the finished product. LED headlight on a quick disconnect mount will be finished in the next week or so.

Looks good Scott. There is a certain satisfaction building something for yourself. I haven't had time to even take mine out of the box yet. Xmas travel gift had me out of town until last night.
For anyone interested in the West I recieved 8 of these hoods just before Xmas. I have black and white with the intake plenum un-installed and all the vents. Email me for details.

I am in the process of putting one on a 7000 I am building with the Evo turbo kit. I would use the intake plenum set up but that will get used in the stereo install.

I am going to relocate the gauge to the backside of the vertical post and have the key back there as well.

Hey s2h, what did you use as a " flexible duct between the intake plenum and the factory turbo 90 degree elbow" ?? I have the Evo cold air silicone tubes now. Gonna order the same set up you have from Gene. Nice work and nice sled! Thanks for posting your work!

Here's some pictures of my installation.

Fit's pretty good, but the manual is very bad at all.

Sled is way better to ride in the woods now.

Wondering if anyone have ideas about how to reduce the intake noise? It is too loud sound for me
