Although I'm not Dave I reckon you'll be right Iain. It's a period modification and so long as the suspension geometry isn't changed, there's no reason to refuse it. My DT1's got all of the mods you mention and it passed Nats scrutineering muster many times. It was protested once for too much rear travel and passed that as well.

Are you still coming to CD9? I'm bringing both of my DT1's along with the Hindall and Cheney so you can have a ride and compare the difference ;).

Kama Gutza I believe. It'll be great to have the event back in NSW (figuratively speaking ::) ).
I don't think we've had the Motocross Nats in this neck of the woods since The Coffs Harbour Nats in 2007 and before that Mt Kembla in '94.
