so we all know that Fullbore is a no go (for the time being..fingers crossed) and I have to do something in the mean time as far as a hood to go with some oem/maier fenders that I'm going to run. looking at what Maier use to offer as far as the Fullbore front "look" I found the hood that had one vent in it. of course it is discontinued and I cannot find a new one so I decided to put my money where my mouth is and I contacted Maier. I asked them about making the hood in Fighting Red. sure enough they still have the mold and they will make them for me but I have to purchase 10 of them. I am also going to order 10 white and 10 black. they are not going to release to the public again. they quoted me a price of $67.87 each for the fighting red (they did not say if this was the shipped price). I'm going to try and negotiate a price break (calling them Monday) for ordering the white and black ones also. i think this hood in Fighting Red with new Fighting Red fenders will look bad a$$. this is the hood I'm having made again:

[MENTION=24]croat1[/MENTION] - I would buy one to help you out. However, do you want to try Jay at Fourwerx. They make Red and White fiberglass hoods for FB fenders $139. I bought the smooth CF hood for the OEM/Maiers which is a little more. They have the style you want but for FBs. I'd be in on a Fourwerx hood or maybe two if you want to head down that path. I realize the CF cost $100 more than the Maiers but they mount like the stock hoods and the quality is exceptional. Jay may be open to work with us to create what we want - CF or Fiberglass.

[MENTION=24]croat1[/MENTION] - while you have them on the phone ask how many fender sets need to be bought for a custom color run. I want Kawasaki Green full fenders.
-
the problem with going with CF/fiberglass parts is that I'm a woods rider.... the hood would be ruined in 5 minutes.
last I heard is that Maier requires at least 5 sets of fenders to be ordered for a "non-stock" color. I will verify the info again.

Understood. You can count me in for (1) Fighting Red. Curious to hear what they say about Kawasaki Green full fender sets. The old Roll/Kawasaki GNCC bikes looked awesome.
-
I finally had some time to contact Maier on the phone this past week. there is a 10 piece minimum on any color ordered. price listed does not include shipping. they would not negotiate a price. one month time frame on manufacturing. I believe I'm going to purchase everything I mentioned in one shot (still going sleep on it for a day or two).

as far as a custom color run: 5 set minimum order on any non standard fender set. i did not get into much detail but the sales person said they would run any color as long as they had it. seems like a lot of guys at any given time were asking about getting silver made.

I would for sure take a white one....maybe more.

I'm in for a fighting red.

croat1 sent pm. is this going to be a go ?
-
is going to a GO on the purchase. 20 hoods is going to be $1357.50 plus $50 shipped for all of them to my door. its 4:30am and I just got home from work. I have to start work at noon (meetings and training). If I can sneak out for a break I'm going to order..if not the order will be placed Friday morning. ordering 10 Figthing Red and 10 Black. I am going to order the white hoods at the end of the month....out of cash right now. I am keeping 2 of each. all the other ones are up for grabs. some have been spoken for here in this thread and others by pm and emails. I will put how many are "SOLD" when I review my emails/pm's.
side note: there was no price break for ordering 10+. the price is what it is. they wanted the full amount payed up front. I tried to negotiate 1/2 up front and the balance payed when completed and they said no.
thanks for the interest and the somewhat long response from me.

Thanks man. Nephew was over to the house last night and bugging me about the status. He's been looking for a black hood for his '87 since we finished putting the quad together back in June.

I will take a black one. Let me know price shipped to 48446 and paypal info.
-
Yeah, I am actually in Mayfield twp. I just need to ride somewhere other than The Mounds. It has turned into an 4x4 park and they charge an F'n fortune for anyone who doesn't live in Genesee county and I don't really like taking my 12 year old there.
-
I am a little north of the drag strip but I can hear them running from my yard every weekend during the summer. Love the sounds!
-

once again thanks to all that purchased. I'm glad that I was able to help out and get a part made again that many "needed". goes without saying...a big thanks to Maier.
about the white ones I had planned on ordering: purchase is on hold (not enough interest at the moment). I still might go with it in the near future (I still need 2 for myself).
joe
