Snowmobile storage compartment, display, antenna, and body trim system
A snowmobile including a hood, a hood cap connected to the hood, and a door, which together define a storage compartment. An antenna is mounted to an upper portion of the hood cap above a headlight. A main body panel is removably coupled to a chassis of the snowmobile by way of a fastener assembly. A first trim panel is removably coupled to the main body panel. The first trim panel has a first thickness and extends a first distance from a side of the snowmobile. A second trim is configured to be coupled to the main body panel in place of the first trim panel. The second trim panel has a second thickness that is different from the first thickness and extends a second distance from the side of the snowmobile that is different than the first distance.
1. A snowmobile comprising:
a hood;
a hood cap connected to the hood;
a door; and
a storage compartment defined by the hood, the hood cap, and the door;
wherein:
the hood cap defines an opening to the storage compartment facing a rear of the snowmobile;
the door is movable into the opening to close the opening and out of the opening to open the opening;
the door includes a hinge mounted to the hood cap below the opening;
the hinge is configured such that as the door rotates out of the opening the door moves downward and outward relative to the opening; and
the hinge rotates about an axis of rotation extending through apertures defined by the hood cap and hood flanges of the hood.
2. The snowmobile of claim 1 , wherein the hinge is connected to the hood cap by way of a pin extending from the hinge into an aperture defined by the hood cap.
3. The snowmobile of claim 2 , wherein the aperture of the hood cap is defined by a cap door flange of the hood cap, the cap door flange is between the hinge and a hood door flange of the hood to retain the pin in cooperation with the hinge and the aperture of the hood cap.
4. The snowmobile of claim 1 , wherein the door is a first door defining a first opening configured to accommodate a first display of a first size.
5. The snowmobile of claim 4 , further comprising a second door defining a second opening configured to accommodate a second display of a second size;
wherein to provide the snowmobile with the first display the first door is removably coupled to the hood cap; and
wherein to provide the snowmobile with the second display the second door is removably coupled to the hood cap.
6. The snowmobile of claim 1 , further comprising:
an inner stop tab extending from an inner curved surface of the hood;
an outer stop tab extending from an outer curved surface of the door;
wherein as the door rotates from a closed position to an open position the outer stop tab moves into contact with the inner stop tab to prevent over rotation of the door.
7. The snowmobile of claim 6 , wherein the inner curved surface and the outer curved surface cover a wire harness extending from a display mounted to the door when the door is in the open position and in the closed position.
8. The snowmobile of claim 1 , further comprising a storage insert removably seated within the storage compartment.
9. The snowmobile of claim 1 , wherein the hood cap includes a cap flange that overlaps and abuts a hood flange of the hood to provide a seal between the hood cap and the hood.
10. The snowmobile of claim 1 , further comprising a USB port mounted on an inner side of the door.
11. A snowmobile comprising:
a hood;
a hood cap connected to the hood;
a door;
a storage compartment defined by the hood, the hood cap, and the door;
an inner stop tab extending from an inner curved surface of the hood; and
an outer stop tab extending from an outer curved surface of the door;
wherein as the door rotates from a closed position to an open position the outer stop tab moves into contact with the inner stop tab to prevent over rotation of the door.
12. A snowmobile comprising:
a hood;
a hood cap connected to the hood;
a door; and
a storage compartment defined by the hood, the hood cap, and the door;
wherein the hood cap includes a cap flange that overlaps and abuts a hood flange of the hood to provide a seal between the hood cap and the hood.
