hi guys,i removed my oil injection and put on a black 500 hood.im having a problem,the front corner of the hood wont stay latched to the plastic causing it to pop up.im worried its going to come flying off on the trail,andbody have this happen and come up with a fix for it?my other one did the same thing but the oil cover held it from comming off.oh and i must say,it looks pretty sharp with the red plastic and the black hood[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

 

my 250 one did that now with the 500 one it fit really perfect and is very snug. maybe if u fool with the little things in the front that hold teh front plastics together it will help

 

nah,that didnt work..the slot that the clip sits into is wore out..

 

I wonder if you could take 2 or 3 of the really small, thin zip-ties and wrap them thru the slot in the plastic, maybe take up some of the slack? Just a thot.

 

i havent really spent any time looking at it and figuring something out,but ill keep that in mind..

 

hey ken dont these 500 front hoods look sick!!!!! i love mine even though its grey

 

Mine did the exact same thing. What I did was got some velcro strips and put it on the tab and the back side where the tab goes in. Worked like a dream and hasn't popped out since. Real cheap fix.

 

i think its looks awesome,once i get a seat cover it will look even better..thanks for the ideas guys,i appreciate it..

 

ya black seat cover to match!!!!!!

 

im going to go with the black-red-yellow seat cover from hpd..
