FX-1 Hand Holds

[brapperdoodle]

I recently epoxied my new hood liner in and totally forgot I was going to make hand holds. I know, it’s stupid. Seriously don’t know how it totally slipped my mind. The next best option is a drop in set that is long discontinued… long shot but does anybody have a set of these???

Make some. Use clay to get hood profile and pocket negaitive. Lay some glass over the clay.

Just cut an access port in the liner.

And ruin my perfect hood liner? I couldn't live with myself hahah

Maybe just leave them out? The only time I use mine is to remove the hood. When I do hood tricks I grab the rails or front of the pole. They also hold water.

I keep saying I am going to make handholds for my Edge.

Yeah, when I try to do any of those tricks on my Krash I just grab the handlepole tube and it seems to work fine. I’ll probably leave it alone for now and see if I feel like making them at some point. If anyone has a set of these Blowsion holds I would absolutely buy them though!

Looks like something that would be fairly easy to 3d print.

not sure how good your skills are but we used to order the 750 Kawasaki handholds ( only ones u could still get ) and just heated them up and molded then to the superjet hood ...
its a tad work but once they are molded they look like they belong there ...

3 D print would be amazing !!!

What Kawi handholds? Can you post a link?

I have a set if you could find some one to 3d print a set I would lend them to you . They don"t fit as well as I would like but my hood was done by blowsion back in the day and thier work was not the best back then. I will post a picture and you can judge for yourself if it"s worth doing.

I tried adding foam around the flanges to try and make them fit better but thats as far as I got. I haven't come up with a solid way to fasten them. Here are pictures of how they look. Keep in mind blowsion did this hood over twenty years ago all I did was repair and repaint thier work.

Very interesting. I would love to figure out a way to 3D print or make a mold of those but I don't know how you would go about that... Are they fiberglass?

 

[PAUL C]

yes they are fiberglass. I had to do some work to make them useable again.
