Default Finished my C/F 10/14 canopy's

Here they are my logo 10 carbon and logo 14 carbon fiber canopy's.

You will need to dremmel about a half an inch around the collar, and I would say as much as 3/4 inch from each side in the back for easy removal.

They are sturdy and light, but it will crack if you don't trim them. I got lucky and cracked the 14/yellow one a litttle because I didn't want to trim it much, but when I did trim it the crack went away and It's all good now.....



My camera memory card is full but when I have time to dl to my computer I will take a few more showing the top and back better.

Wow, that L14 turned out nice!!
Havent really liked the CF canopy until I saw yours! Me thinks I need one of those CF canopies

Callie did the graphics for the plastic canopy on mine a year ago - did a great job and she is a really nice nice person to deal with Do you mind if I ask Callie to make me a set of those decals too?

I got the logo 10 3D CF canopy, to tell the truth, I dont use it, too much of a hassle to take on and off.

Is the L14 better in that respekt?

Lorents, be my guest, she treated me very well and I hope she sells a bunch. She did mine so she could get a template made up.


Mel, I will take some more pics today of the back and top. I can take it off in about 30 seconds, and have had it on and of about 10 times since it was finished. You do have to be careful to not just yank it open at the back, but with careful guidance it fits on and of easily. Also, when you drill the holes it pays to get them as precise as possible....Also, It kinda springs closed at the back which holds it tight on the canopy standoff's

To answere your question, yes, I think it might be easier on the 14, but I trimmed both of mine (10 and 14 cf) and although you do have to be careful, it can be done fairly easy..
