Ilegal mods mate. Stripping the snorkel is classed as modifying the air box.
Depending upon how the club runs the classes, you'd be plonked in the modified class (North East Club) or Thunderbikes or not allowed to race

The snorkel mod does give a bhp gain as the air box is freer flowing. I think gains of 3 bhp have been had

Yep, a race system, good air filter and remap and (if required) later cams, (in the right way round) should easily see it hit 72.

Big bore kits, cams accidentally put in backwards or accidentally purchased from JHS, accidental port polishing and gas flowing are all a little bit naughty.

... and don't get me started on fork caps!

Well, my fork caps are now standard. And i only had them in as i had read the rules as i could.

So, at all north east and hopefully Melville meetings (to be sorted) any bike found with none Minitwin kit, that includes parts removed will be in the modified group.

That includes :- Airbox mods, snorkel removal, dog bones, tank risers, solenoid and pipes, master cylinders, forced air induction, fork caps, 72 BHP and everything else stated in the rules.

This can of worms has been opened. Enjoy....................

Howay Tony and Mike you've gone all quiet. You should be applauding toots efforts to clean out the cheats.
...or have you just remembered those fork caps and dog bones?

What's a solenoid?

Yes, it's nice to have someone who knows what they're doing spannering for you. Especially when you font know one end of a bike from another.

If you could do better than 7th someone might think it was worth helping you out...
