Replacing Hood

[vstar650ca]

O.K guys just wondering if there are any adjustments after replacing the hood on my 94 Ranger or is it just unbolt and and bolt on replacement.The hood is the same year.Thanks

No adjustment needed if you mark where the hinge sits on the hood and line it up with that point. I usually outline the hinge with permanent marker or something very visible (I have scratched it with a nail head once but that leads to rust on metal hoods).

Is the hood fiberglass on a 94? I know the 96 I have has a fiberglass hood and thought it was an aftermarket one...but they started using the composite hoods sometime after 92...not sure when...
