or you could take that stupid a$$ rule out, set a minimum/maximum weight for the bike and let the builders use what they want to use..where they want to use it

problem solved.

Come on guys, you don't show up with a set of M109 forks(which probably weigh 20# more) on your busa and argue they are OEM forks...

Does it have to be spelled out word for word right down to the vin, make, and model to eliminate people from pushing every part of the rulebook?

yes

i agree.

From where I see it they already have enough streetbike classes. Clearly the bike will never see the street. Even the fans aren't fooled. It already takes too much money to make any noise anyway

so I say Headlight tail light min weight and let them go. easy to tech and no drama oh and lets see the 6's

Here's an interesting twist for you to throw around, part of the issue seems to be that it isn't clearly defined and these are not Suzuki forks. GSXR forks are OK tho. Well what if those ZX9 forks were on a Kawasaki Pro street bike, would they be OK then? If GSXR forks are OK on the Busa, why wouldnt ZX9 forks be OK on a ZX14??

You can run any type of forks, thay just have to weigh the same are less that come OEM on your bike

As long as the ZX-9 forks dont weigh more than the ZX-14 forks, you are good to go.

I kinda wondered that myself looking threw the rulebook eariler. I saw where some guys put 08+ bodywork on their bikes. I believe steve jester said just because you put new bodywork on the bike doesn't make it new a few years ago. (because people asked him why he didnt put 08 bodywork on his psb)

I wonder if we checked the vins how many are actually 08 and newer.

No against that, you can update body work on SuperSport bike too.

Replacement parts permitted but must retain the shape of the stock parts they replace....4.2.5.7.1 body Looks like a rule to me........

99-07 busa body is shaped different then newer stuff.......

Yes it does.....it has always been a part of RACING!

[Tezzuk]

LOL what a load of bollox , if you read rules theres a big feking hole as far as i can see was a rightous pass on a per spec bike

OEM sports bike means any OEM , iv no idea who this bloke is but he stuck buy rules as they WRITEN

This need to be addressed by AMA as ther **** up

builder did what he was allowed to do by rules , if rules are wrong or in gery FFS ya cant blame some one for following them and to call such a person a cheat is way out of order , when its clearly down to some lazy fek at AMA not making it all clear , or maybe it is clear they just forgot to tell every one in rule updates

[BusaChris]

Based on everything I have read here and in the rules, you cannot DQ someone for following the rules. It is not his fault that the rule is NOT written the way a lot of you think it should be. Fact is that it does not state anything about what model of fork has to be used. Just sport bike forks!

Pinky is one sexy bitch, and I hope this **** does not keep them away from the track as that would be a huge loss for racers and fans alike!

[blackhawk01]

Yes it does.....it has always been a part of RACING!

Apparently for motorcycle racers.

I as a spectator would love to see this also. I would think this would take a little pressure off tech as well.

6 second passes on a street tire...
