carbon fiber hood/trunk supports, Pictures Options

[Randal]

I've bought the Seine System universal kit which has both the carbon fiber trunk and hood supports.

Anyone install these units? It sure isn't obvious where they can go and still function and look clean.

Pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Randal,

Looks like a nice solution, you're probably the first to try this kit on a 914. I was thinking of using an old carbon fly rod.

For neo914 I ended up with lower pressure CAMP914 gas shox. After I ordered Craig mentioned I may want to try 1 first, probably because f/g and CF hoods and lids have different weights...

(Front hood) There doesn't seem to be a mounting point on the inter fender that will work, given the curve of the fender, i.e., the rod can't bend around the fender curve when shut.

Maybe the ridge which sits in front of the tank would work (perpendicular to the fenders) and still have sufficient room for the rod to "be packed up," so to speak.

Same issue applies to the rear trunk.

I’ve got a CF hood and trunk as well.

I hope I'm not the first, but judging from the responses to this post, I might be.
