covered.
4) The minimum angle of rotation of the handlebar on each side of the centre
line or mid position shall be of 20°.
5) Whatever the position of the handlebars the front wheel shall never touch
the streamlining if any.
6) Solid stops, (other than steering dampers) shall be fitted to ensure a
minimum clearance of 30 mm between the handlebar with levers and the
tank when on full lock to prevent trapping the rider's fingers (see diagrams
A,B,C).

avoid fracture points in the bar.
8) The repair by welding of light alloy handlebars is prohibited.

(diameter of this ball to be at least 16 mm). This ball can also be flattened,
but in any case the edges shall be rounded (minimum thickness of this
flattened part 14 mm). These ends shall be permanently fixed and form an
integral part of the lever.
2) Each control lever (hand and foot levers) shall be mounted on a
independent pivot.
3) The brake lever, if pivoted on the footrest axis, shall work under all
circumstances, such as the footrest being bent or deformed.
