    That's to do with availibility rather than anything else, because the forks they are using are just as crap as the standard ones

    They were just as crap as the standard ones, they were only used because it was the cheap option rather than rechrome to fix a continually leaking fork seal

    You could buy emulators or even try different oil /spring/ oil volume. Just because you have a handling problem doesnt mean it cant be fixed.

    2. 17" and slicks have been allowed under the MNZ rules for pre-82 Open for years. Recently changed to allow for the smaller machines, too. Rules 25-4-2 and 24-4-3 now.
    If he did that he wouldnt have anyone to build his engines.

    If you're not prepared to protest, you shouldn't whinge, then.

    The protest was designed 100 years ago as the only proper way to deal with a competitor's tech infringements, and it still is.

    regarding engines etc..

    Nowhere does it SPECIFICALLY say that the engine has to be from the original bike right, so if I was to get say a pre 89 xr650 motor and bang it in my 89 spada would that be ok ? Any thoughts ?

    Or would that be not keeping with "the style of the time" or somethin like that
