Question on headlights...

[RidgeRider]

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:

http://www.racemotorcycles.com/cgi-bin/board/YaBB.pl?board=rules;action=display;num=1081183022

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...

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.
