Author Topic: Hood install ? gspeedaddict ¯ Member # 6537 posted                              I just picked up a truefiber 3in cowl.I cant get the thing to latch correctly. The first latch will set down,but the latch where you use the hood switch wont. Any ideas? Got some advice to raise the locking mechanism.
