You tell us.

It wasnt challenged , no case or protest was formed , therefore there was no outcome ,so no precedent was set.

Settle Pettal.
I wasn't there and I've only been back on the scene for a few months and love the passion.
Q - Were the bikes true to the rules?
A - Probably not.
Q - Was the "Protester" within his rights.
A - Yes.
This is getting personal and could alienate people wishing to enter in the future.
It's almost impossible for the scrutineers to know, every rule or every part available for every model of every bike.
As several people have suggested, it is up to the rider to ensure the bike he is riding is within the rules.
People have tried to stretch the rules since Hesus played fullback for Nazareth.
I think its time for a Bex & a lay down.
P.S.
It's all Firko's fault.

Hang on no one protested about Glen's bike.

I am not getting personnel.
I was in the Pre 85 263 class and on Sunday afternoon I shook Glen's hand and congratulated him on his efforts. I wish Glen all the best.
I just want to know if upside down forks and disc brakes are class legal on Pre 85 263 bikes. If so I will install on my YZ and race it again next year. If not some thing should be said.

I just did a quick ebay search and the only wave discs that I could find were the 6 bolt type that were used from 1995 on .Upto 94 they were 4 bolt so maybe I have to change my front hub as well????

Simons USD forks were available pre 85. Brad Lackey had them on his RN82. I am not sure if there are any differences between a set of simons USD forks built before pre 85 or a set made in 88 for example. If questioned, im guessing Glen/the bikes onwer would need to proove what year/generation the forks are as it is a similar issue to Bahnseys KX500 which has WP USD forks which were available pre 85 but the particular ones he has are off a 86/87ish model bike.
If all Simons USD forks 82 onwards are the same then there is no issue. If other competitors felt Glens bike was illegal, they had the opportunity to protest if they wished. Its no point dwelling on it now though.

Getting personal wasn't aimed at you personally Ji, but more a generalization.

Hi LWC,
How would one find out which Simon's forks were made pre 85?
