Yes BUT they must be DOT or BS approved and tested to JWL standards for fatigue and impact strength. It is teh competitors responsibility to provide proof of certification to the officials upon request. Section 5.2.3 A

 I'm not worried about SS rules. They're for a Honda RS125. And yes, the Dymags I'm looking at are up to the JWL standards.
 Thanks for the replies.
