    Wheelbase

    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?

    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.

    Sometimes you wish it was easier, but if it was, everyone else would do it, then you remember you don't want to be like everybody else!

    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

    I think my tyres are under depth limit as well.
