Mudguard rules have changed - no more 45 degree rule in Vic!

[macca]

Hi guys,

I recently saw a picture of an awesome Storm which basically had no rear mudguard hanging down beyond the number plate. Got me thinking I'd like to make my rear guard shorter so it only covers the number plate and goes no lower. So, I Googled it and discovered that the '45 degrees' rule for rear mud guard coverage was actually removed by vicroads this year:

Cheers,

I'm pretty sure it is the same with NSW. At least I hope it is! Because mine doesn't quite get there


I hope I don't get in trouble....

What bike is that?! I saw a sweet new BMW street fighter style bike outside work today which looked like it was based off their super sport bike. I love street fighters.

That's my Hayabusa 'fighter. As this is a Firestorm forum, I don't want to give it too much attention. Feel free to PM me if you have a question about it

I like your anti gravity pushy. Does it work with something like a modified flux capacitor?

I'm training it to do backflips

It might be a firestorm forum but I would be keen to hear more about this bike and what has been done.... It looks amazing and I can only imagine the power of the thing!

Yeah it looks mental fast!
