Howdy,
         Speaking of not hearing from people, I had faxed a couple of 
questions to Dale Martin and got nothing in return.
         I've got more bike questions for MPS/PG:

How much turn radius can I remove from a stock BSA turning radius (modify 
the steering stops so the bike can make only wide turns) and still pass 
inspection?

The rules say the foot pegs have to be 6 inches in front of the rear axle. 
How low can I mount the pegs (below the axle centerline?)

Are fabric pods (AKA parrot beak mounted on the backside of the helmet) 
allowed to streamline the helmet?

Can fabric/leather "skirts" be attached to the knees and hooked over the 
toes of the boots to streamline the riders lower legs?

Can plastic vanes be attached to the riders boots to direct airflow?

Thanks and drive careful
