Wanted: Hood Vents
« on: August 03, 2015, 07:55:09 AM »
I need of 4 replacement hood vents as shown in the picture.  From what I've learned these were "add on" vents that could be bought from the dealer.  Does anyone have a Kawasaki part number for them?

No part number, but I will look and see what I have.  I know those vents fall apart pretty easy.  Those vents might be a nightmare to find...   something about plastic from the 70's and 80's.  When it gets old it falls apart...  kinda like us!  :-\

Vent #39090-3510 or 39090-3504. Price guide 1981, one was .77 cents other was .70 cents. Back in Hood Confusion it shows templates for location. Options for better cooling.

Thanks BornagainKawi.  I was hoping you would post because I thought you might know based on the templates you posted on the other page.

A couple of guys are checking their inventory for me.  Thanks again!!

I have three NOS 39090-3510 vents.  I sent you a PM about them.  One of them has a note NOT to use the 39090-3504's because the tabs could break and fall into the engine.
