Passing Tech with a street ready bike - 1/22/2007 4:19:51 PM    Jaybird180 Posts: 2659 Joined: 5/12/2006 Status: offline I was thinking of a way to have my bike street and trackday ready and was wondering about a few things.  Does anyone think I can use headlight mesh and it will pass tech (covering headlight requirement)?  What about using LED flushmounts for my bulbs?  I'll be redoing my bodywork soon and want to do something that will make the work easier (I don't like doing the street>track>street conversion).  Anyone have any good ideas that they've used in the past? _____________________________ Track/Street 02'' F4i ZG Dbl Bbbl, Galfer SS Lines, PC3r, Muzzy s/o, NRC cover, ShiftMinder(WTF?), Speedbleeders, Vortex sliders, fenderless, GP Shift Ohlins, Racetech, Showa Suspension Don''t go in the forest if you don''t want to go to Granny' Post #: 1

RE: Passing Tech with a street ready bike - 2/1/2007 4:07:59 PM    Tahoe SC Posts: 5874 Joined: 8/24/2005 Status: offline no...i will do no such thing. i was on tapeworks site or something looking for a sportbike sticker for my car and i saw some dude riding track with mesh headlight sticker...the point of covering the headlight with tape is just to keep the plastic together...anyway...the mesh does the same thing...so i'm think they will let you run with just the mesh! just pull the fuse. _____________________________ Admit it...you love my siggy...
