This hood also has the advantage that with  your head outside you can communicate very well with 
other drivers while driving. 
 
Carbon part:  hang the  carbon front  part  with  the  hinge stick and secure the canopy with  the safety 
cable. This must be adjusted so that the hood does not tilt too far forward and the hinge does not jam. 
If you want to ride like this, you also attach the upper edge protection tape (included in the scope of 
delivery) to the carbon edge so that both carbon edges are now secured. 
 
Foam Part: Install the foam part by removing the top edge protection tape and inserting the foam hood 
into the slot. Push it in as far as it will go and secure it with the Velcro strips on the left and right. 
When  driving,  the  hood  parts  should  be  secured  with  the  rubber  loops,  as  the  hood  can  flap  up, 
especially in strong winds. 
 
 

6.2 Hood for daily use with moped-visor 

 
This  hood  allows  driving  with  very  good  protection  against  all  weather  conditions.  The  scratch-
resistant visor allows the use of an optional wiper. 
The Naca-Duct in front of the visor can be infinitely adjusted and thus the ventilation can be regulated. 
You adjust the Naca-Duct at the point at the bottom of the duct. You can pull the actuator down, then 
the inlet will open. When you push the actuator back up, you close it again. Under no circumstances 
should you try to open it by turning the actuator. The actuator may only be pulled or pushed, otherwise 
the attachment of the actuator to the inlet can break off. 
 
 

What should be considered during operation? 

 

 

Always secure the hood with the rubber loops. Cross winds can raise the hood and create very 
dangerous situations. 

 

If the visor fogs up and Naca-Duct-ventilation doesn’t help,  open it a little until you have good 
vision again. There are problems especially in cold, damp weather when you stop at full speed. 
Open your visor at traffic lights when these problems arise. 

 

Use  the  adjustment  of  the  Naca-Duct  for  comfortable  ventilation  while  driving.  Penetrating 
rain should be automatically routed outside through the side drainage holes. If necessary, check 
the permeability of the openings. 

 

Caution: the side view is restricted by the A-pillar. You should drive very carefully at confusing 
intersections  and  turning  situations,  especially  if  the  side  windows  are  fogged  up.  In  such 
situations, you can get a good view to the side by lifting the hood slightly. 

 

 
6.3 Racehood 

 
The racing hood is used in the same way as the everyday hood with moped visor. It is still slightly 
more efficient than the everyday hood and has a slightly better side view due to the narrower A-pillar. 
However, the front visor is not scratch-resistant.
