I have the Maier hood I like it alot its cheap.

I have had the Quadtech hood and its awesome but expensive...

I have also had the Laker custom hood and all tho cheap its ok. I think its built a little to ridgid and does not flex at all. Mine cracked a little near the top inside corners. It had to be spread to fit well. I also had the Laker plastics.

older quad tech hood.

03-23-2006, 12:38 PM
313 racing, the hood tabs go inside the plastic, it gives it a cleaner look, but you will need to trim just a little more or a smoother fit

if you are looking for the older style (or in between) give JH racing a call, he had a few in stock i think.

I have the new style hood with scoop, i think it looks 100x better then the old style, i will get some pics when i have everything together.

I have always been a fan of the smooth style ones, like quadtechs. If I didn't need my lights so bad that's the style I'd get.

Is there an aftermarket vented hood that lets you keep the headlight ? they look great but I do alot of night riding in the dunes and cant roll without lights.

Just to give ya'll a heads up....

I talked to Quad Tech today and the price is going up BIGTIME on the Carbon fiber hoods due to high demand on Carbon Fiber (apparently ther is a plastic hood too now?)

Its going from like 170.00 to a whopping 285.00 each! :eek:

they are also backrodered for about 3-4 weks :(

I just ordered my custom numbers to fit the hood too :(:ermm:

Im glad i got mine on ebay , the quadtechs with some small defects on them , they were sold as dixo's. got mine for 60$ !

good thing i just bought my hood. Only paid 165 for the new style...

QuadJunkies
03-30-2006, 09:08 AM
I dont do Ebay much, but maybe I should keep my Eyes open for one too :(

03-30-2006, 09:37 AM
i thought the 165 was overpriced...i bet they have taken care of their supply problem now...

Is that the black Plastic hood they offer?? I might go ahead and order one of those.

I cant justify the new price on Carbon Fiber and I heard a few rumors they may not make them at all.

450rJam-For the 06 450r Quad Tech makes hoods that you can still use the light. I also think you can get any kind of hood and still use the light on 06.

does anyone have any pics of the vented quadtech hoods (new style perferably) on a 06 r with the lights still on underneath, also does it take away much visability at night with over hang?

04-01-2006, 09:25 PM
i had to remove the ligth with my maier vented

Trailtech/Fullbore have a hood that the lights mount in.
Looks a bit bugeyed, but kind of cool at the same time. Put a set of HID's in there, and you'll be rockin in the dunes.

I just got the Smooth Maier hood for my 06. On the 06 do you have to cut the 2 plastic pieces off at the bottom that hold the stock hood on? It won't fit up right with them on. Just wondering what everybody else did before I cut anything...

04-19-2006, 06:28 PM
yeah ive got the maier vented, u gotta trim those tabs to make it sit right.

Dave400ex
04-19-2006, 08:20 PM
Just the very bottom 2 right, don't need to trim all 4?

04-20-2006, 06:16 AM
i trimmed all four on my maier vented, just to make it sit a flsuh as possible
