Age ( Class ) Exempt parts.
« on: September 29, 2011, 09:01:54 pm »
I'm currently working on both pre65 & pre70 class bikes.
What parts are non critical on these projects?
eg - handlebars, levers, cables, tyres ( obviously ) and, dare I say, Oil Tank?
Both bikes I have planned need a remote oil tank and there are heaps of off the shelf oil catch tanks available, am I wasting my time even considering these, or do I need to go original?

Any ignition provided it does not change the external looks of original. Rule been like that for years. A lot of veteran VMX, Road Racers , Speedway have modern electronics fitted up and hidden inside their old maggys to be perfectly legal.

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
