Already striped one of mine and looking for a quicker longer lasting alternative to the stock fasteners.
Anyone replace torx/star on hood with alternative fasteners?

There has got to be an easier way to remove & fasten the hood.
I find that I have to pull the hood after every ride; which is weekly right now.
Just doesn't seem okay to assume everything is fine under there; especially coolant level, etc.
This is what I miss about my M1K.

i remove my hood every ride, just to pore the water out of it. and wipe clean the intake.
if a guy put two snowboard straps on the front and a couple ratchet type on the front nosecone sides, quick release/designed to take some force.. but where could you put them where you wouldnt beat them up. lol..

I like this idea. I don't take the hood off that often, but I hate having to take all those screws out.

maybe some kind of pin system
I like the little turn pin thing at the bottom of where the side panels connect, like beside the chaincase when the side panel is off, I just don't know if they'd be strong enough.
If there was a way to put the pull pin type assembly that holds the side panels on and implement them into holding the hood on, that might work well too, but I don't think you could get a design like that to fit or work.

Well you could probably even buy them from Cat, they have them on our chassis after all
The quarter turn fasteners are the dzus fasteners as hollywd mentioned. They should work great.
