Does anyone know if there would be any issues on running an 09 d8 with the hood off. I have already fried the regulator and ecu and didn't want that to happen again.
thanks

thanks for the link.
anyone try it on an 09 dragon. I used to take them off of the wedges, edges and gen 2's with no problem.

Good question, as far as the electronics / instruments go, how would this work? Spring is here and inquiring minds want to know...
Of course you could take the side panels off and try that, since the clutches are more exposed to the side than the top like in the older chassis sleds, maybe that would work better for cooling? Still it would be nice to lose the weight up top too.

we need mtnhorse to chime in on this, because i plan on doing the same thing... i have the timbersled handlebar gauge mount tho so i will still be running my gauges other than the boost gauge, just no headlights.

Arent the stators on the new motors fully rectified? Shouldnt have to worry about it then?
Kinzer,
Any pics of that setup? Sounds sweet. How did you get the wiring to the stock instrument(s)? Seems like it would be easier to read hanging on the bars. I would really prefer a sweep gauge to the digital with idiot lights too, still wondering about the possibility of using a gauge set off an earlier IQ on an 08 Dragon, if it would work easily or even with some adaptation...

i dont have it on the sled yet... just planing on it for spring riding this year... the mount that i have is in the top left of this picture
