Plenty of Barkbusters seen at the Reunion Ride (although the purists scoff at them!). What do you need a computer for? There are no AHRMA off-road events with multiple speed changes, resets, etc. For the qualifiers and the Reunion you really don't need a thing, but some guys like to run a route sheet and a watch. As long as turns are mileaged and marked, you don't even need an odometer.

Here is a link to the AHRMA rule book PDF file. Bark Buster are OK and I use them even if the purists scoff at me!

Hey Jeff, I run enduros with my bike and have the computer mounted. I was just wondering if I will have to take it off for the Reunion Ride,thanks for the input. James

Thanks Jeff, One more thing; how about the exhaust? I have another pipe on the bike with a spark arrestor on it. Can I use the original pipe?

If you are already running enduros with that pipe, leave it on, especially if it has a good silencer. Quieter is better! The old "Less Sound = More Ground" bumper stickers from the 70s are even more relevant today!
