That's the fun part Kev apply the rules as you you see them

The only championship winning DD bike proved legal

I need someone to build mine I think rather than wallow around in the dark, always on the back foot and never close to having a 'good' bike

That was our approach to the TT rule book, try and find that loop hole you can drive a truck through

Mine was weighed and dynoed at Oulton and available for stripping. 100% legal.

I used to work for Broadspeed Racing years ago and Ralph Broad was an absolute master of interpreting the rules to his advantage, without actually breaking any of them.

its an aptitude thing Phil - I just dont have it when it comes to mechanics and getting my hands dirty.

One of the best I remember when I was racing my Mini many years ago. Was that the original gearbox must be retained. I saw this special saloon with its original gearbox locked in 4th gear to give 1:1 output, then passing through to a Hewland transaxle in the back. Fkin Brilliant.

bradders if you looking to fit radial calipers, Monster S4R Testastretta (2007-2008) Showa forks are 50mm top 54mm bottom

as the S4RT is a heaver bike the stock spring rate might be a better fit for you then those spongey 620 marzochis

you might need to find some 15mm offset 6 hole rotors though

dont know if any of thats legal for DD mind

thx, probably not unless I come across them super cheap...dont intend to brake that much so wont be too worried about them!! And they must be legal as Hugh ran them last year in B

mainly looking for adjustability - seems from what I have read elsewhere that the non SBK ones arent really worth having, may as well spend a few hundred quid on rebuilding std ones to suit me and my style

I've got a set of radial calipers that are not being used right now...
