Headlight delete

[Captain Undies]

I was at the snow show and wasn't to impressed with the lack of headlight deletes that are out there and the ones that guys are making(fit and finish etc). So I came back and started tearing into the hood on the sled to see what I can come up with. I took a few pics of the the first run at the headlight delete and will have the prototype done soon. Keep in mind this is not the finished product and will add pics as the progress continues. Keep in mind also the shop is a mess and so is the sled,.. It will be cleaned up by next set of pics

Sorry to go off topic, but whats the reason you wrap your can with the header tape or whatever that is ?

To keep it warm on the cooler days! Duh
Lol

 

[Captain Undies]

To keep all the heat in the pipe and not under the hood. I built my own header, divorce pipe, down pipe and can for the machine then wrapped it up from front to back. It's not as easy as the blankets from evolution but serves the same purpose(I like to be different)

Cool, thanks.

Have you seen the reaper motorsports headlight delete and cold air intake? 250 bucks and it looks awesome and the fit and finish is good too. Search it on snowest and you can check it out.

Just got the dash done and powder coated tonight. I just need to pick up a few filters and reassemble

The stock one. It's a 4 stroke so its just a screw in cap

And the purpose of the headlight delete is.....?

A free or cheap way to loose 10lbs off the front of your sled and a better intake system than stock

Finished up the dash completely. Only thing remaining is to get a couple of air filters and she's good to go

Looks good. Only thing I would do differently is under the cluster I would use a screen instead. Let more heat out since the air box is removed from under the hood.

I see. Something I never thought of because I ride at night at fair bit.

Get a lead dog, better than stock head lights anywas

Hei. is this something you are gonna sell as a kit? Is there any cutting in the original hood? What parts are needed? thanks.

 

[Captain Undies]

Only cutting needed is to cut the two back tabs for the rear mounts for the headlight. I'm going to be making another one that is a lot more cleaner fitting and if there is any interest for some kits out there I will make up a bunch of them. I also just made one with a 5.2 inch(330cfm)exhaust fan that hides behind the cluster and pulls hot air out real good. I'm hoping to get some time on it soon to really test it out
