A note on belly pans
having researched the ACU rules for the new twin racer it says that the belly pan should be large enough to contain the contents of the sump. Note of course that they were thinking Jap stuff with engine oil storage not 75 year old engines on bikes with oil tanks. Now I guess the contents of a Vincent sump is that compartment tucked away at the back of the crankcase waiting to be sucked back to the tank so thats what 60cc? 120cc?
Whatever it means a small belly pan and thats important because the smaller the pan the better you can tuck the exhausts away. And just have your arguments ready for the scrutineer.
