Lexan hood instalation, and tips??? ZX...

when i did mine i i built a shelf out of plexi glass for the airbox. you can heat the plexiglass with a heat gun of a small torch to mold it to the shape of the hood, glue it in with some silicone so that it makes a tight seal and cut the same square opening that the stock hood has on it to mate with the airbox. then cut holes in the guage's or stock intake would go and add some flowrights. Worked great for me. good luck!

When I did mine I retro'd the stock hinges to fit the bumper. I drilled out the vent area with holes since trying to add the stock vents would have been too much work. I used the headlight area for the air intake. I put a blacked out plastic lens over the area to prevent snow from blasting the two large slp flow-rites that were mounted there. I used the stock instrument panel as a diagram and fitted the instruments into the lexan hood as well. I used a fitted foam piece that went over the airbox and opened to the flow-rites. The foam held the engine heat and clutch dust from getting into the airbox. I also painted the inside of the hood and then added heat tape to protect it. It looked much like a stock hood without the decals. I used a helmet head light for night rides. It was a lot of work but it was cool when it was done and the sled lost a bunch of weight. I will tell you this, the lexan is not as flexible as the stock plastic. It will crack if you are not careful with it. It is also a very good idea to add an extra set of hood straps to secure it. Here is a pic of my brother's sled. Our sleds were nearly identical. It is the blue one.
