Quad Tech used to make them. Some vendors may still have them. They run about $160. I got one and I really like the looks.

quadtech i think still makes a true carbon fiber stock light housing replica

and maier makes a simulated carbon stock style hood that about 100 cheaper

but looks kinda cheesy

They discontinued them, adn you're right, the Maier looks bad.

I think fullbore makes a good looking hood for a headlight, but it isn't carbon fiber.

in a rollover, the hood's usually the first thing to break after the handlebars. so for my money, i'd rather have a cheesy looking $50 meir than a $250 quadtech. ask both of my buddies, with broken quadtechs. just my two cents.

same here I just bought a maier, I wasnt going to send over $150 on something that could break and doesn't help my quads performance. I spent 42 bucks.:D

yep fullbore I think you can use your stock lights I have seen it before it looks awsome you can hardly tell the light are there but they are there I think I saw it on a desert racer 450r

Yea he is right fullbore makes a hood that slips over the light and actually looks decent just depends on your taste but i would get rid of the light

It's Maier yellow. They have Neon, but it looks more like Suzuki yellow, where this looks like Honda yellow...close anyway. Get all kinds of compliments when it's seen in person.

Hood runs about $180.

Quad tech doesn't make them anymore, but I'd sell you mine for $185. Still brand new. :)
