Smooth hood for 400EX?

[WKY400EX]

Just wondering where is the cheapesr place to buy a smooth hood such as a Maier? Also, exactly which model do I need? The '86-'87 250R hood? Thanks.

It's a 250R smoothy hood and I don't think the years matters. I ordered mine directly from Maier.

Looks good Rico. How much did that run? I know that Nacs sells them for $26.95, and I think RMATV has them for about $25.

I think I paid $35 for mine. I can get pics too of how to mount it if you want me too..

That'd be great Rico. I'd like to see those pics.

Nac's has the shiny, smooth Maier hoods for $35 after shipping, so I'll most likely get one from there.

where did you get the EXriders.com sticker?

I"ve gotten several of those when they were in stock. I don't know if Harlen has anymore or not..

Looks good. Lets see the pics on how to mount it. :)

I'll probably give a run down on it and small review and post it in the FAQ section for future refrence..:D

I need to ask Harlum for a raise...:mad:

I just finished my hood tonight, and I'm wondering the same thing. I guess you could zip-tie it to the frame?

I circled were the key switch is. I drilled a hole in teh plastic and mounted it on the side. Looks like it was made to be that way. And the neutral light i just stuck down in the cable holder bracket that is on the steering stem bracket.
