    Aussie bike imports to be asbestos free

    Aussie law has just changed to enforce an asbestos ban on all motorcycle imports.
    World acceptance has been a max of 3% which allows things like brake pads, clutch plates, electrical insulation etc.

    Now the Aussie Govt has decided to go to a 0% tolerance.

    I'm yet to find out how it will affect temporary imports - ie racebikes taken over for a meeting or series.

    The penalties for importing a non compliant bike are enormous - confiscation, destruction and a max of $180,000.00 fine....

    There is still asbestos in brakes? Surely not.
