Having already answered your air box questions twice, once in email and than once on the NG forum, I am surprised you felt the need to bring it up yet again. If the bike isn't suitable or you really need that very final 0.5 hp (or whatever negligible amount the modified air box gives you) then maybe you should concentrate a bit more on your riding rather than worrying about the bike.

As for the risers to lift the front of the tank on the SV650s, as I've already pointed out in email and on the NG forum that they are illegal according to both the 2005 and 2006 rules. Why spoil things by continuing to ignore the fact that we police the series based on those rules and people have previously been pulled up for contravening them on that very point?

The rules are there for all bikes and are not focused on the SV650 in any way. As the MRO series for 2006 will have a factory backed Kawasaki ER-6 on the grid isn't it rather sad that we don't have more support from the Ducati contingent?

The various MiniTwins series are more than happy to see lots of Ducati machines during 2006 and we will do our best to accommodate you (see certain rule changes for 2006) but, please, let's all stick to the same set of rules to make it fair for everyone across the country. Trying to encourage different rules at different clubs will only see the series shrink and create confusion as to what is a legitimate MiniTwins bike and what isn't.
