As it has been noted in the past SCTA/BNI does not allow Dustbin fairings.......take a look on the SCTA site
and the picture of bike #5154-1000c.c.-APS-PF..........now I would call that as close as one could get to
a "Dustbin Fairing"...............Maybe we will see a rule change down the road?

John,
Pardon my ignorance, what is a "Dustbin" fairing?

Thanks, I wanted to be sure ours was not a Dustbin. The way I read the rules, in MPS you do not have to have 180 degrees of the frt rim showing. Is this correct?

In MPS you have to see 180 degrees of the wheel and cannot have the front fender lower than a horizontal line drawn through the front axle, use/placement of clear plexiglass/lexan may not be used to "skirt" the rule.
Section 7.F.4.1 of the 2009 "back in Black SCTA rulebook..

it is the "no part of the fairing ahead of the front axle may be lower than the top of the front rim at the axle vertical centerline or be forward of the front edge of the rim" that excludes dustbins
by dividing the fairing and the front fender you can achieve a similar effect as a dustbin.....
or just hang a wheel on a stick on it and you can run one because sidecar rules are way different....
See ya on the salt
