Here is my version of a cut down hood converted to a half hood.  Because I live in Scotland I have a full roof, but on occasion when it stops raining heavily a half hood is good. 

I decided to utilise the frame as I'm quite tall l, to keep the roof from hitting my head. The hood velcros around the rear part of the frame. The rear straps then loop round the rear frame to allow me to tension the whole roof.  Generally I'm quite happy with it, and I've used it a few times, both with and without doors.  It looks a bit Flintstone like as the hood has no depth, but it does the job.

Looks good. I used one of the roof hoops too and it does add some really useful height to it, plus it allowed me to tension the hood better.

The orange bonnet stripe, is that painted or a wrap? I'd like to get a carbon one on mine that wraps around the nose like yours does. Wondering if it's possible with a wrap?

Just checked and mine is paint. The black edging stripes are done with thin tape of some sort though.
