Title: Hey Tiff or Kevin..or anyone.....
Post by: GAMEDIC on February 01, 2003, 09:41:34 PM
Am i reading this wrong?...this is out of the rule book... i may be stupid..lol..but explain...the way it sounds to me is that we can't use after market forks?...
6.2.2 Original frame, front fork & swing arm must be retained. Unnecessary brackets may be removed. No
additional strengthening gussets or frame brackets may be added to improve the original strength or
stiffness of the chassis and swing arm. The only modification allowed to the original frame and swing arm is
the addition of a boss or bracket to mount a steering damper and/or frame brackets to allow the use of
service stands.

Correct, you must use the original forks. But the internals can be change/upgraded/modified.

That only applies to SS classes SB, GP and Sportsman classes allow aftermarket forks.

You think that $5k aftermarket forks would improve your lap times $5k worth?  LOL! ;D
