Aftermarket Canopy
« on: August 26, 2016, 09:30:36 PM »
Has anybody seen any place that sells aftermarket canopies? I am trying to find something a bit brighter or preferably the Fusuno Rocket scheme.

Canomod will have them soon.  I wanted to get the red stock canopy but I'm not sure when that will be available.

I gather someone sent a set to Canomod to be molded? Did you get a price from Canomod?

Cheers

No prices yet.  I asked Canomod to get a mold from Matt so I don't know if they did that or bought a 766 kit.

Hit send before my message was finished lol.
Anyhow, I recommend anyone who wants a different paint scheme to order a blank and send it to your painter of choice. I know that doesn't happen when people get custom canopies like a Trex for example, but I always suggest people get the blanks from the Synergy Store because they are available.

I would agree. I don't know who would do a custom job for me. Any suggestions?

You might check in your area for someone that does motorcycle helmets. Canopies are not much different.

I have had work done from a friend that would do custom paint for OCC, Robert "Nub" Collard  (Nub Grafix in Walden NY (845) 778-2191) you can email him at paint@nubgrafix.com for a quote.  You want a Bad Ass lid, have him paint it. I had one done for my N9 , 6 layers of clear, heavy in weight but that paint looks like its a mile deep. You will no doubt pay, but if you want something that pops. Worth the wait.

Oh he stays booked, I haven't talked to him in a few years due to getting out of building bikes, and have lost touch with the guys,  but check around your local area and if you can't come up with anything, give him a call. He isn't cheap !! You pay for quality no doubt and the money you spend on this, it will be a show piece when done..
