Quick question.
Does my windscreen have to be completely intact in order to pass tech? That is, would it fail it a part of it was pieced together with glue and packaging tape?
I know that I'd be allowed to finish a race with a damaged windscreen. But what about starting a race with a repaired windscreen?
H-man
Probably not.
Just race without it.
Seriously? A windscreen isn't a required part?
I seriously don't think you need it. For instance, I've seen a Ducati Monster, and a few Buell's on the race track, and they didn't have windscreens :-/ I can't see why you'd need it other than "aerodynamics."
???
When you're as slow as I am, every little reduction in wind resistance is a good thing ;)

lol... ah.. nevermind, I'm not gonna even... bah....
;D
Yes, last year, I raced with a broken windscreen for a few weekends.
No one seemed to have one available for new bikes. And the number plate was part of the windscreen...so...
Nope not required. I was helping Mike get his 750 finally ready to race and kept him from procrastinating any further by installing the screen, I was just like get it to tech already!! ;D
Thanks to everyone for the feedback.
Super Dave, are you saying "yes" to the question that the windscreen is required to be completely intact (if one is pressent)? If I apply your "yes" to either of my first 2 questions, then I'm a bit puzzled how you got past tech with a damaged/repaired windscreen.
QuoteI raced with a broken windscreen for a few weekends.
No one required me to get one.
And none were available.

No it is not required.
remember bodywork is not required either as long as it has a catch pan and fluid retention. even on newer bikes.
