I dont know the rules for the Classic class but thought that was a bit odd, are fuel tanks free or would this have been considered OK under the guidelines for the comp? It was a great looking bike, I am just interested in what the go is on that aspect.

Yes Shaun there are no limits on what sort of fuel tank can be used on either Twinshock or Classic class trials bikes.
Yes it is a bit odd to require so many other parts of the bike to appear to be of the correct era yet to have no requirement that one of the main visual identifiers of a bike (the fuel tank) to be free of limitations.
At the moment the Australian rules for Classic Trials class are in a state of flux and there are widely divergent views on what parts should be controlled and what should not.
Thanks for the posting - it is great to hear feedback about the bikes we ride and how they are percieved by spectators.
