will take the info to MA head office, not to some track where as some under the pump official is getting hammered by anyone that has an opinion.
Yeah, that'll work just as well as you knocking on the door of Parliament House to personally ask Julia to repeal the Carbon Tax ::). Ted, there's a process to go through for this stuff. You've been around this sport for long enough to know that, I touched on it in an earlier post and I'm sure Scrivo's mapped out the process to you as well but here goes anyway.......

 Write up a proposal, attach all of your written proof that the swingarm is eligible and submit it to the Commission via your club secretary. It'll then be considered along with everyone elses submissions at next years AGM. Too much trouble, too much bullshit, too slow in this instant gratification society? Yep it is, but that's the way these situations roll like it or not. If this is important to you, do it the same way I and others who've had a problem with rulings have had to do in the past.

Ted I think you are missing something and I genuinely don't care either way. Just because it is listed in a parts book is not enough. I would think you need to prove it was genuinely available to riders. Gunters bike most likely had pre-production parts on it supplied by Suzuki the same as Gall's Yamaha and several other top riders and if that is the case then it is not legal.

More importantly can anyone tell me what late model foot pegs fit an RM125B ;D ;D

Monty , so by your way of thinking a works bike or part that wasn't available to the public is not allowed? I don't think that that is the case, the book goes by manufactured date .ie a works bike made in 77 it is eligible for pre 78 ..... but who knows its a dogs breakfast.

Oh no not the works bike and parts discussion again read the MOMS.
I have been reading it since the pre78 protest at Conondale.Maybe my copy has some pages missing?

Appreciate what you are trying to do .Good luck but the answer is already there.The problem lies in the interpretation of the written rules on raceday.

On the advice of Motorcycling NSW I have submitted my proposal to the Classic Dirt Sports Committee for an adjudication.

Will keep all interested with their response

What was the out come of all this????  I suspect that MA said no.  There is a GCR 18.2.1.2 That says "The onus of proof of eligibility shall rest wholly upon the rider or entrant of the machine. Service and Parts Manual publication dates are not proof of eligibility ".  If MA did say no, did they say what they do except as proof?  I asked someone who worked at (and raced for) Phil Thew Moto in 1977.  He said that the alloy swing arms were available for all three bikes 125, 250 and 370.  The photos of Stewart McLachlan, Grant McCrae and Anthony Gunter show this.  There has to be a way to prove they are legal.  That is genuine ones not modified C ones.
