Bike frame and case ruling

[Morpheus]

In the M classes, are aftermarket frames considered "OEM street type frame(s)". The rules state that you may rake the head, mine is 34*, but nothing about stretching the frame 2 inches.

Are aftermarket cases permitted in the M classes, or only A classes?

These questions apply to a H-D bike.

Input and time is appreciated on these questions.... Thanks !

Morpheus, you can search the archives for more on the issue, but after a rule change in, IIRC, 2004, use of S&S cases is restricted to A classes only.

[Morpheus]

May I assume that the new ruling applies to my S-T-D and Delkron cases also? I realize many S&S cases/engines were used in the majority of so called aftermarket bikes, so the rule change would zero in on that particular make.

What i'm after is a ruling allowing non H-D factory cases in the M class.

Perhaps a email to the committee would be better.

Thanks for your reply.....

do you have a rule book..?..

FIRST PAGE OF M CLASS rules..."the engine shall be from the same
manufacturer as the frame".............

not sure if this helps or not......

[Moxnix]

It's "A" class only for Delkron and STD, per what Joe said.  And, if a factory bike uses S&S cases, at least 500 of the model had to be produced to qualify for "M."

Joeea.... well that pretty much covers the frame portion. Yes I "had" a rulebook but  :>(  Friday evening while discussing this subject my girl friend hollers NOT AGAIN !  she picked "something" up off of coffee table and chucks it into fireplace.

:>O ! Oh my... guess what that was morph......  sooo anywho, my Kraft-Tech frame is only good for special construction as are the cases.

Easy as fallin' off a log............     Big THANKS Folks !   Now to order another rulebook  :>)

no worries...there is a surplus of new rule books....and girlfriends....

In some cases either ends up costing you more money!

Consider the costs: new rule book and a Harley or a girlfriend.

The Harley won't change it's mind. It has no mind.

Maybe that makes it the same as a girlfriend.

Harley  1    Girlfriend   0

But, if you are frustrated you can kick the Harley.

Harley   2    Girlfriend  0

The Harley won't care if you ride another Harley.

Harley  3  Girlfriend  0

The Harley doesn't care if you come home at night.

Harley  4    Girlfriend   0

A Harley never invites it's Mom to come visit you.

Harley   5    Girlfriend   0

You can have 2 bags on the rear fender of a Harley.

Harley  6           Girlfriend     Leans the wrong way.

If you have a Harley  7       Girlfriend if you have a Harley   No Score.

A knocking Harley is still cheaper than a knocked up girlfriend.

Seems to me you can always stroke your Harley but not if you have a girlfriend.

You can leave a dead Harley along side the road. A dead girlfriend will be with you forever.

Either a Harley or a girlfriend can keep you broke.

There are fewer consequences with the Harley.

A ruling on a case and a frame is always cheaper than a ruling on a girlfriend.

A dead Harley is less problem than a live Girlfriend.

I hate 'em but the Harley wins.
