Same problem when I put the NOS on friday... You have a few options, one, you can losen the rear bolts on the brackets and lift up about half inch, that will make enough room for you to close it, and wont pull the front away from the nose, but it will look stupid... two, you can take off the hood...thats what I did, three you have to get a smaller air filter, I have a 3 by 14 inch on mine, and Id have to goto a 2 inch tall filter. Or get a bigger cowl hood...

I don't have hood clearance issues! But, do you have a dropped base air cleaner now?
