Here's what I've got so far, I'll keep adding as I think of things.
Things that may be removed:
-Rear fender/license plate mount
-Horn
-Blinkers
-Mirrors
-Passenger pegs
Things that ARE allowed. If a modification isn't mentioned, it is NOT allowed.
-Any DOT tires are allowed.
-Aftermarket exhaust, or modifications to stock exhaust
-Air box may be modified or removed and replaced with a clamp on air filter. If using a clamp on filter a brace must be added to keep the bodywork from flapping.
-Throttle body may be turned around 180 degrees from stock.
-Foot pegs may be replaced with aftermarket pegs. Stock rear sets must remain.
-Aftermarket handlebars will be allowed as long as they use the stock clamp locations (1"7/8 handlebars are allowed as long as the stock riser mounting location is used). NO clip ons, NO clubman style bars, NO broomstick bars.
-Braided steel brake lines are allowed.
-Aftermarket brake pads are allowed.
-Aftermarket brake/clutch levers are allowed.
-Aftermarket shocks are allowed.
-Preload spacers in the forks or stiffer fork springs are allowed.
-Chain and sprocket upgrades are allowed. Any aftermarket sprockets must be stock tooth count.
Safety wire list:
-Front brake caliper bolts
-Front axle
-Rear axle
-Oil filler cap
-Oil drain plug
Tape list:
-Headlight taped with your sprint number displayed (side number plates not required)
-Tail light taped
