Re the Superstock rules

g) Rear suspension damping units and springs
h) Front suspension, springs and damping parts, including, fork
caps, external compression and preload adjusters may be
modified or replaced, but the external appearance of the forks
must not be changed


WOW, this wording 100% allows for FULL internal modifications of STD forks, everything in the CARTRIDGE is a part of the damping.
I guess the world wide financuall trouble must be all over

PS GSXR600 Riders, best get into the online for sale forum here, and purchase my Ohlin's NIX 30mm kit and shock and damper

Think thats the 1000 rules there wee fella.......scroll down a bit further for the 600 rules

g) Front suspension springs and internal components,
(proprietary internal modifications are allowed to base and
mid valve shim stacks, pistons and adjuster needles) OEM
cartridges and cartridge rods must be used without
modification. External appearance must remain unchanged,
Full cartridge kits may not be used

Interesting that levers must be stock or a replica stock copy.......that rules out any shorties, pazzo etc.

p) brake and clutch levers but these must be replicas of the
OEM levers

OOPs by me indeed mate, but still? why one and not the other, and why even one

Agree totally.........If I had the balls and $$ to race, the 600 susp rules would actually put me off, knowing what's gonna happen to tyres etc, that and trying to sort springs and redamping issues etc.

Lucky my balls are very small like my bank balance

What about TITAX long levers (Cheaper than OEM I will add too)???? Are they "Replica copies" or do we have to use cheap "made in China with no real safety testing done" copies that cost $20? I hope the long versions of aftermarket levers are allowed personally.

My Acrobat server isn't working at work so cant see the regs;

does this leaver rule apply to the 1000's as well?

Well looks like there will be an ohlins TTX rear for a zx6 for sale then. bugger, I'd only just the bike how I wanted it.

or just race in Supersport. All the above talk is about the SuperStOCK regs.
Surely though this only applies to the Nationals, most clubs appear to be sticking with the Formula classes, at least for now...

Yes it does.

Who have you contacted at MNZ for clarification mate?

It is on there web site. I will be at the docks by 7 tonight dude

Just the email shown on the MNZ site....waiting for a reply for clarification on if the TITAX are allowed or not.

The rule does apply to the 1000cc Stock Class too though...it says so. I just want to see if they allow any aftermarket levers of normal length so to exclude shorties or if the rule is meant to exclude any other levers apart from those that look "identical" to stock. Personally I have little faith in these "stock copy" levers for very good reason...

That will not be as exspensive to achieve as some will have you believe mate
