Brent It doesn't matter what kind of windscreen you have :o :o :o :o :o :o
It does say streamlining is not legal, but in that case a speed hump on the leathers would be illegal too :-/ Haven't heard of any problems though.

Yes, it's legal, yes tinted screens are legal...
streamlining on the RIDER isn't legal. :D
It's not a speed hump, it's for safety. ;)
double bubble is NOT legal in WERA superstock (new rule for 04) becuase it does not follow OEM bodywork shape. It is said to offer an aero advantage.
I am not sure the CCS ruling though. maybe something that rest with the head tech.
In the MW we ran it last year with no problems.

In CCS, that would fall under "THE NO WHINING CLAUSE" if someone protested based on that
interesting, in CCS Supersport, "any bodywork may be used".
in FUSA Sportbike:
"Any fairing may be used provided it is made of plastic, fiberglass or carbon fiber and it follows the shape and
silhouette of the OEM bodywork."
that may be questionable.
Your mileage my vary.
Terms and conditions apply.
Last year for most of the early part of the season, I was using a special prototype screen that I made. It had a lot less frontal area on it, so I think it increased my speeds.
;D ;D Dave your gonna be a millionaire after making windscreens and straightening frames!! ;)
Hard on the body though hey?

HEY! Who filed the sharp edges off that screen? ME!!! That was MY design! ;)
I saw somewhere in the CCS rulebook the same:
"Any fairing may be used provided it is made of plastic, fiberglass or carbon fiber and it follows the shape and silhouette of the OEM bodywork."
So we can or cannot use aramid fibers (Kevlar)?

Not new, they've never been legal for our stuff or AMA.
Legal or not. did everyone forget who sponsers the CCS series and what product makes up a large portion of their sales?
um.. the racers are currently sponsoring CCS
And i thought everyone bought thier windscreens off ebay from squids that bought tinted ones.
heheh

Curious....
How does WERA address the SV650-S and the standard SV? The S model only has the upper fairing and the standard none at all. However, most SV's racing have full upper and lower fairings. Since that is not OEM, according to the rules, that wouldn't be legal.
Dawn (confused again ???) ;)
QuoteNot new, they've never been legal for our stuff or AMA.
The tech guys told me it doesn't matter what kind of windshield we use.
As far as the SV650 - There is something in the rules that state something like "Unless required to meet standards such as belly pan." or something...

Being that aramid fibers are classified as a polymer, you could argue it's just a composite of plastic fibers (arimid) in plastic resin (epoxy).
Remember: a "space age ploymer" is a plastic developed in the '60s ;D
-z.
OK what about the guy who had R6 plastic on his EX500 at BHF a couple years ago? So what are they gonna say when my YZF comes out with R7 plastic since, ironically, I found its cheaper and easier to find than YZF750 race glass. Or the R1's with the R7 glass?
Rob, calm down. FUSA requires stock looking bodywork. Not CCS.
Dawn, in WERA, I believe any bodywork is OK on teh SV, but ONLY on teh SV.
