[QUOTE="keny1, post: 29792, member: 2637"] Hi All, I wanted to clear this up, but I will have to call the officials about the rule. It Looks like, the engine must be factory displacement. We are allowed to change displacement in classes other than Vintage. The SCTA rule book section 7.J.1 for the production vintage class engine states: "OEM engine displacement determines the displacement class for competition. Displacement may not be increased beyond that class limit." Vintage class is for bikes made before 1956. The P-PV 1350 cc class record held by a Indian at 81.8 mph set in 2003 is what has lead me wrong. I don't know of a over 1000 cc pre-1956 Indian, that came from the factory. This Indian must have an over stock Bore or Stroke. Maybe the rule was changed after this record was set in 2003. My [FONT=Arial][COLOR=#000000]apologiesto all who are reading this forum. I will have to read the rule book again. It would be a big mistake to build a bike that does not meet the class rules. Thanks Kenny Lyon [/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
