are u alowd to race with cut guards and grabholes?? Does it pass the scrutineering??

Also, can ya still trail ride and go through dusty and muddy places with cut grabholes without shitloads of crap getting through your airfilter?? Only if the grab holes are small.

thanks

There is an MA rule for your rear guard length (something like 20 degrees from verticle back from the rear axle,check the book) I couldn't find anything about the front guard.

I whould tape them up or if you have the time and $ buy a spare, if you have a filter skin that healpe's alot and you don't have to worry as much about bad air intake or mud^.
