I'm thinking about racing in CCS. I've read through the rules, as well as a number of posts on this board but I can't figure out if I need to remove my headlights. I have sharkskinz "street" bodywork that still has OEM headlight holes/lights.
In this post:

It says to remove all lights, but in the rules it says:
5.2.7 All turn signals, luggage racks, and mirrors must be removed (nothing about headlights)
5.2.8 All lenses and instrument faces must be taped or removed
To me, it sounds like I can keep the headlights, as long as I tape them up. I still need to be able to ride the bike on the street, so being able to leave them in would me much easier for me.
The tail is not a problem since I have a separate race tail, but I don't have a second upper/lower w/o the headlight holes.
Any help would be appreciated. Hopefully, I'll get in a few races at BHF before the season ends.
Thanks.

I am pretty sure that if you tape them, then it's OK. I have seen guys out there with taped headlights before...
Thanks :)
Just make sure you pull teh bulbs or fuses.
And soon enough you'll probably give up street riding anyways, so it won't be an issue anymore! ;D
Yup. I remember there was a guy at Roebling on a brand spankin' new gix 6 that still had the street bodywork on, just taped up. So yes, you can. :)
I think trick is WHEN you do crash, the lenses will shatter and make a huge mess requiring a lot of work for the clean up crew and delaying everything. That won't necessarily make for a lot of friends. Pull the upper, pop off the whole head light assembly. Shouldn't be hard. Will save $$, period.
