Super Jet How many would want a lowered nosepiece/hood look for only 80 bucks?

[MattSmith]

227 and I have a mold for a rn lowered nosepiece that will fit a lowered pole bracket, but taper into the stock hood. This could save a thousand bucks for someone with a lowered bracket, that wants the clean look of the lowered nosepiece with the ability to do hood / nose tricks. I wanted to gauge what kind of interest there is for this, since i'm doing one for myself. if someone else wants one, i can have a couple more made.

matt your going to re-enforce the stock hood right? your going to destroy it if not...

 

[MattSmith]

How much stronger are the aftermarket hoods? I see cracks in all the hoods. In fact it seems like I see cracks in the after market hoods much more often. ? Coming from a kawasaki i do not know the ways of the superjet build quality,breaking points. Etc.

Matt, I could be in for that.

Id be interested but Id like to see a pic of the finished product mounted on your ski

i'm just waiting for 227 to finish the plug

i want one. you guys should make some plugs for the front holes on the hood and sell as a kit...

You don't see cracked superjet stock hoods cause the guys riding hard enough to break them have blown them in half. They don't crack, they explode. Someone going as big as you will wreck a stock hood fast with one big pancake.

Then I guess I have some incentive to pancake because I want a new rc freeride blowion hood. Pancake ing is not an if. it's a when.

I like the one I have. It's an older design, but looks good. I think r-pot made it.

The plug isn't even done? What happened to " I have a mold?"

I don't think the pole won't fit on the stock hood with a lowered bracket the way your picture shows.

 

[BruceSki]

it will be hard to make that nosepiece flow nicely.

 

[tom21]

you mean like this?

 

[tom21]

I was told to make it line up with the stock hood, ditch the holes and just ramp it down. my first plug he said was still a little too tall at the top and center so I dropped it and that is what I ended up with. also fabbed hardware to it so you dont have to drill and put a screw thru it.

 

[tom21]

here is a visual carbon one I did, its not the low stock one but the one that matches my hood.

 

[tom21]

this is the first attempt it got lowered a little more top and center.

Ya Just like that. Super low profile with no bump like the comparison pic on the top of the thread

 

[tom21]

wasnt it 227 that asked me to make it for him? thought I texted him and he said he was good? lol it was made after the foam shape he posted for me to work from.

post 14 pics are shaved down a little more. the carbon is for my lowered hood I dont think it would work with a stock hood to well.

If I remember right 24-7 had a nose piece that was for lowered brackets but matched stock hood height....it was slick....centerline on here had one....
