which one could make the best canopy mod????
also... using any canopy of your choice to best fit the hurricane.

Here's another shot of the raptor windscreen mod. at the moment it is just stuck on with some double-sided tape but what I'm going to do is put some reinforcement on the inside of the canopy then attach the windscreen with a series of small screws with washers on the outside. I'd rather not spoil the smooth look so it just remains to be seen if some screws will be enough.

that's not bad looking at all:D
did you buy it as a part or did you have to buy the whole raptor canopy?
(talking about the windshield)

I bought just the windscreen by itself for about £5.00 (roughly $10.00 and I didn't shop around so not sure if that's a good price or not). It does look very classy. I'll report back when I get it solidly mounted.

The skids I bought on Ebay and I am pretty sure they are raptor as well but they have no markings on them at all. The cool thing is they fit straight on without even having to drill new holes (which would be easy anyway).

My stock Gaui skids just seemed very wimpy so I stuck these on there and they are much more sturdy and have a wider footprint.

YEAH!!! RAPTORSKIDS BABY :D

OK, here's the properly mounted finished item. I just used some rubber grommets and then backed up the screws on the inside of the canopy with some bit of rubber from one of those rubber wine bottle corks.
It should be quite solid. I might epoxy the rubber pieces on the inside just to help spread the load a bit and hopefully keep the canopy from cracking around the holes.
