I have recently put a SC14 supercharger (CRS kit) onto my vn v6, it sits a little high and touches my bonnet. If i slam my bonnet shut i need another persons help to get it open again as it locks down because of the supercharger. Any suggestions people?. I have undone the four bolts and tried to move the bonnet up a little bit but it doesn't make much difference. It is actually the skeleton frame on the underside that is touching. I don't want to **** my bonnet up so its defectable though the charger already makes it illegal.

Have you backed the bonnet spring off just a little?
Undoo the locknut. Use a scewdiver to loosen the spring bolt. do the locknut up. Should gain a little room.

im guessing you made the brackets again.. Maybe you will have to remake one so that it sits lower

missus (in more ways than one)
grind off as much of the lobes as possible without taking metal away from the brackets.
if worse comes to worse, cleanly angle cut/grind off the complete lobes, tig weld them onto your outlet s/c, intake pipe and make a shorter bracket from there

just but like an xr8 hump on there. and chop the bonnet away or something if you have to. But i think ide rather re-make the hinges to make it sit down more
