Sheri, you beat me to it. I've seen similar ones on BMX bikes. Plenty of grip.
Don't push me, I'm close to the edge.

you've already got a nice set of footpegs that
are set up for the levers.

i can see them being bolted to the extra
 hardtail brackets for-- rear tie downs and/or
 pegs  for a triangular "kickstand" plate.

How about knee rests?

Lars, while looking at the pics of your amazing build again, I'm wondering if your countershaft should be covered. I don't see anything in the rule book but I know I've been told in tech that the countershaft sprocket has to be completely covered. Just trying to save you a trip back to the shop after you get to the salt!!   :wink:

Lars, take some pix of that bike when you get it all together and post them, including the finished # plates on the bike.  The tech inspectors have the final opinion, of course, but we can spot anything that is obviously goofy.  It is a lot easier to make everything right in a shop than on the salt.

Right, thanks.
The set-up was OK'ed for BUB , but that of cause doesn't mean it's OK for SCTA.
I'll check with tech. inspection.

Certaintly is !
I'll post pictures of the "finished" bike ( never was such a beast..was there ?! ha ha )
As a matter of fact, I'll have to do a little booklet of the entire bike build and present to tech inspection very soon:

The rulebook states

"..7.A.4 New race Vehicles:
It is strongly recommended that all new Special
Construction class ( A, APS, Streamliner, SC, or SCS )
vehicles.....[snip]....be submitted for pre-event inspection by the Technical Committee.
If not practical because of distance, photographs and drawings may be
submitted to the Technical Committee Chairman
..."

Good thing that I have like 2 million pics of the build
including things like photos of all weldings on frame, gas tank etc.,
taken before painting etc.

Sorry ! My mistake !
I should have pointed out that the alu thingies doesn't necessarily go ON the bike,
but of cause they will be used for something relevant to this whole endeavour.


So here we go again:


Can you guess what these alu-thingies , found on the scrap-yard,
will be used for ?



First person to come up with the
right answer will recieve an INDIAN SALT CRACKER BONNEVILLE RACE CREW T-shirt.




Have a brilliant week-end ya'all !!!
