Wheelbase

[Hazzard]

I was just having a look at MCNZ bucket racing regulations and noticed that the minimum wheelbase for a bucket is 1300 mm. Has anyone bothered to measure there bucket to see if theres meets regs?

I see the FXR comes in at 1325mm but the Cbr 125/150 is 1285mm.

That's for bucket sidecars isn't it?

better be :shit:

Yes having another look you may well be right. Without scrolling down from above rule 24 2-7-2 reads ambiguously sorry.

Std RG50 would likely fail too if it were for bikes, but yeah sidecars.

but the Cbr 125/150 is 1285mm. We'll protest the blardy things on Sunday then :yes::lol::done:

i think my bike is okay, my exhaust is under the bike, but its been done by custom chambers...so should be legal


a dont think JC would inforce this rule.....unless the bike is a hazzard

[gav]

errrr why would your fitment of an exhaust make any difference to your wheelbase? :blink:

[F5 Dave]

Who can tell? he still hasn't picked up it isn't a bike reg anyway.

. . . what about if I had too many tank stickers? would that affect the width limit? Think the law is 500mm from center line of bike. At least I read that somewhere. Must apply to buckets as well:blink:

I think my tyres are under depth limit as well.
