Never gonna apply to me anyway. I've come to the realization that I will be a lowly club racer at best AND that I am NEVER getting rid of my 1G SVs. I'm just waiting for you to make them Vintage LW legal...
I sent an email about the lack of approved twins suspension parts a few weeks ago. the answer I got back was you can use the approved parts for supersport and Superstock... assuming they fit and don’t have to be modified. (Could be an issue for guys with stock forks) After many emails back and forth they figured out the approved list is clear as mud for twins and said they will try to get it fixed after COTA
They claim everything is legal even tho rules say otherwise. Still debating on showing up with stock shock and forks and protesting entire grid.
I’m just waiting for someone to protest the entire grid for not having the PAIR system on the bike. Other classes say it must be removed but not twins

Bridgehampton 1996 or 1997. 10th place in Production Twins protested the field. When the smoke cleared, he got the win!
