Jim,

Thanks for your order and your support!
Yes, the smooth underside hood (or as I like to call it, the "bare" hood) will be a bolt on piece and use the same stock latch. The bare hood will be good for clearance, but remember, if you are using a carburator, the cowl induction only works as a functional apparatus if the hood is sealed to the air cleaner. Otherwise, a cowl hood just acts as an air extractor, except for at very high speeds whereby air rushing over the hood and hitting the windshield creates a high pressure area forcing air into the opening at the rear of the hood. Our current hood retains the true cowl induction set up, meaning the cowl area under the hood is fenced off to the rest of the underside which, in turn, will create a ram air effect at high speeds. If you are running fuel injection, you can use our upcoming bare hood and just leave the vent open in the back or seal it off making the cowl induction raised bump a means to allow for more clearance (or a more agressive look).
Eventually I will come up with a cf carb pan and foam seal that will replace what is currently on the market.

Best, MaTT
