Flexx Bars

[tntauto1127]

can you run flexx bars in the 50cc stock 4-6 year old class? where can I find what can and can't be changed? I am looking at the 2008 AMA rulebook, the quad section, but all it says is the max width and a couple other things. What about hand brake levers? Can you use the ones for smaller hands? I'm looking for regs concerning the Nationals. I know some local districts are mor lenient. Thanks

If it does not say you CAN change it then you CANNOT change it.

The rules clearly state what can and cannot be changed, I went through all this last year.

what I was looking at didn't tell me what could be changed or I couldn't find it. Here is where I was looking.

By the 2008 rules, you should be allowed??

I appreciate the info. I am looking at getting a bike that has these on but didn't want to pay the extra $ if I couldn't use them for my boy. I hear the flexx bars help with the jarring on the kids little arms. Thanks again

We had them on our 50 and took them off...

Don't think their worth the bucks for a 50cc quad. IMO

The bigger the quad the more it helps

My son didn' like them at all so we took them off

If their already on the quad then I wouldn't worry about taking them off, but I usually don't sell many to the 50cc riders
