Feedback on a Yamaslut modified hood needed.

[IceRocket1286]

I have an extra squarenose hood that is stock. I have tried to sell it with no luck, its in great shape. I have considered doing the Yamaslut hood mod to it just as I did to my own, and selling it.

However, I wont do it if its just going to sit at my house some more. Is anyone interested in having this done for them and then buying it, saving you the time and hassle of making it yourself? I'd assume pricing would be around $300 or so, covering materials and my time to make it. It's not the easiest thing to do, but takes time, especially if you want it to look good.

Just a thought, since I kind of need something to do and wouldn't mind doing it for someone.

ebay it, some one will bid on it. thats how i got mine.

I will take it depending on how much you want for it. I posted a want to buy ad for one of these hoods.

 

[IceRocket1286]

well, is $300 out of your range? Like I said thats a rough estimate.

would you want handholds, or not? I put them in mine but find them rather useless, except for taking off the hood. I can do one on one side for removing the hood if thats what you'd like.

Shoot me a PM with what you want, and we can talk about it

Sorry for the jack... something about that just made me laugh. Good luck selling your hood.

lol. They look cool. thats about it

 

[demolition_x]

you have any pics of the one you did. im in the process of doing mine and i was wondering where you put the holds in

 

[sflsurfrider]

handholds are good for numerous freestyle tricks. if youre not a freestyler, theyre useless.... unless youre taking off your hood.

$300 is a very reasonable price considering the amount of work that goes into a well done SN hood mod.

do you have any pics of yours?

 

[IceRocket1286]

me? yes I do. My hood is in the tech faq section for the yamaslut hood mod

and yes, $300 is a steal, but like I said thats a rough estimate still

I woudnt go that far.....

Well maybe not a steal but it beats $700 from blowsion. Does 'a good deal' sound better to you?

 

[Idok]

personally, I dont think its worth anymore than 200.........but thats me....


the materials for this mod are CHEAP....liquid nails, fiberglass sheeting, and some glass......

SFL that hood looks awesome, did you make the carbon handcups yourself?

 

[oldjoker73]

I might be interested. I'm trying to determine if I need a modified hood. I'm a newbie obviously, and I plan to try some limited freestyle and light surf riding. What are the advantages to the mods you are performing?

 

[IceRocket1286]

lol. liquid nails. Maybe if I wanted to do a half arse job. Time is the most expensive thing.

those are WCF handcups :biggthumpup::biggthumpup:

 

[SUPERJET-113]

I wouldnt do one for any less than $300.
I reinforced mine through out the whole hood and made the hand buckets myself.

I got a question about this hood mod, how thick do you do the liner? 1\8" .. less?? I got mat that is .040 when hardened..
