    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...

    :D

    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. :)
     
    No Brakes, Monsterdood and TurboBlew like this.

    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

    under "contents", it appears that suspension approved for superstock/supersport is approved for MotoAmerica Twins.

    Superstock 1000/600, Supersport 600 Suspension

    World Supersport, European Superstock, MotoAmerica Supersport, MotoAmerica Stock 1000, MotoAmerica Twins

    2.8.10.3 Front suspension
    a. The front fork in whole or part may be changed but must be the same type as the homologated (leading link, telescopic, etc.).
    b. Forks from the Twins Cup approved list, or from any other FIM homologated Supersport or Superstock 1000 machine, may be used.
    c. The upper and lower fork clamps (triple clamp, fork bridges) and stem may be changed or modified.
    d. A steering damper may be added or replaced with an after-market damper.
    e. The steering damper cannot act as a steering lock limiting device.

    2.8.10.5 Rear suspension unit (shock)
    a. The rear suspension unit may be changed but a similar system must be used (i.e. dual or mono).
    b. The rear suspension linkage may be modified or replaced.
    c. The original fixing points on the frame (if any) must be used to mount the shock absorber, linkage and rod assembly fulcrum (pivot points).
    d. Removable top shock mounts may be replaced. If replaced, they must retain their homologated geometry.

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