Could not find any, so whats your opinion is the bike legal or not.

But the FIM rules state that external fitted quickshifters can be used on superstock machines

If you want my honest opinion, I think think this is a mistake by the tuner and the bike is illegal to the regulations. It is such a shame nothing was checked before it was was put in the bike. I do know that after they found out that the cam was illegal they asked the scrutineers to check the others and they were all ok. Just a shame the lads who do the bikes picked up a set that were illegal. I feel so so sorry for the team as I believe that this wouldn't have made a difference to the result. But rules are rules, and YES I do believe that they need clarifying so that everyone knows where they stand. Maybe a spec sheet for every race next year would be an idea.

First of all i think bruce should not of had his win taken away from him as the differance in that cam would have made little or no advantage. the real person who is at fault as you say is the engine builder you dont just pick up a pair of cams and put them in, they are degreed in and checked and then checked again so the engine builder would most likley have known as he obviousley isn't the villiage idiot with the way the bike performed.
