    I have OMF scoops, and a riding buddy of mine bought Tinner's, and we installed them last Friday.

    We were on a ride with ten other riders, and we all agreed that the OMF scoops looked a lot better. The OMF scoops use the factory bolts from the quad for installation, while Tinner's uses clamps, bolts, and zip ties. The OMF scoops look a lot cleaner, and custom, in our opinion.

    I am in no way bashing Tinner's scoops, just giving my opinion, which has never mattered in the past, so it shouldn't now. I know there are many, many satisfied buyers of the Tinner scoops. The Tinners also cost about $20 less. I, for one, am willing to give up an extra $20 for the look achieved with the OMF scoops.

    They both seem to do what they are intended for, pushing more air over the motor.

    I have always heard almost the exact opposite thing - that the thing people like about the tinner scoops is the clean install. One of my buddies that I ride with all the time has them and I'm pretty sure he has them attached at two points only using the factory bolts without any problems. I also ride with a guy that has the OMF - so here is my opinion: I think the major difference is that the OMF scoops seems like that would work better - they have a larger surface area and there isn't a gap between the scoop and the fender - in theory this should mean the air will be forced back toward the engine instead of escaping out through the gap. The negative to the OMF's are that they ARE bigger and don't look as good in my opinion - I think you could actually catch them on something if you were riding through some brush or something - they sort of almost stick out from the quad.

    I like the PRM scoops myself...very similar to the OMFs, but not as big.

    hmmm - my buddy told me he had some of the first tinner scoops, I guess so because his don't attach like that

    Speaking of the PRM - I think they also look good, but I've never seen them in person - anybody got any better pics of them on their bike??

    When I got my PRMs last December, they only cost $40 or so...now they're up to $45. That's still a heck of a lot cheaper than OMFs.

    Here's a couple of pics of the PRMs mounted up on my 400. They mount using two of the front fender mounts and are very, very sturdy. Nothing moves around or rattles when riding.
