Hello All
Finally got my licence and looking forward to my first outing at SMSP in January?
Linden has helped me with advice on lockwiring etc (Thanks Mate)
But my Daytona 955 has No Belly catch pan (standard type bottom fairing)
I have one on order but it wont be here in time for January.
Will my bike pass scrutineering without one?
Also what exactly is sharks tooth?
Can anyone offer some advice here please
Regards

Did the 955 ever come in a 1/2 faired version - or tell 'em its a naked with a top faring - no need for a belly pan if no lower faring on original bike!
Andy how did you do it ?

Hi Tom,
the bike already has the sharks tooth on it (rear sprocket protection)
It depends who you get and how picky they want to be at scrutineering as to whether the belly pan is an issue. when I raced it in Nov 2013 at SMSP they didn't mention it and then Feb 2014 suddenly it was an issue. They still let me race but said it needed to be done by next race meet... they always seem to find something new to pick on with the 675 too. everywhere else they seem to be very practical, SMSP is a mixed bag.... good luck.
I won't be racing at the 1st club round coz I'm going overseas the day after but I'm still planning on coming out as a spectator so I'll see you there _________________ Terminal C Grader |

John still has his 955. I seem to remember him saying he wrapped cardboard to form shape to lower fairing and fibreglassed it. Rough but worked as required _________________ Terminal C Grader |

Try some of the race glass people -- wet 4 u -- race glass etc on the net -- you will be able to pick one up cheap -- or try bike wreckers for a bottom fairing _________________ Scooters are for Men who want to ride motorcycles, but prefer the wind on their vaginas

Enter it as a speed triple, at least you'll be able to get the first round in. They're bullet proof anyway. _________________ Rob Comerford #23 |
