Even though it was a proddy bike,and it was being returned to stock trim,you would have thought it would have had rearsets,mag wheels,carbon airtubes(not sure,but those wheels aren't standard for a 1997 SPS anyway).Of course you may no be able to change all that.It just looks like a very nice bike in Red Bull colours to me.

And that is basically what a TT prody bike is a standard well preped bike with a paint job, a decent rear shock and reworked fork internals, which is what McGuinness's 2003 Monster Mob 999R was.

No Carbon air tubes allowed in proddy class as its classed as a modification to the induction system which isn't allowed
No mag wheels in proddy class, your not even ment to use rearsets, just risers and then you are tied to limits backward and upwards on location.

Jamie Whitam used standard pegs on his Ducati when he raced in WSB and even won on it on one occassion

I also remember that they were not even allowed to use the open pipe eprom on that bike for the race-and Honda won because they cheated with a larger fuel tank but were not excluded
