WKA Legal Rear Bumper Options (Non-Plastic)

[Clay Maddox]

Does Birel offer any bolt-on rear bumper options to meet WKA standards? I would prefer to stay away from the rear plastic option. Let me know what options & part numbers. It would be for a senior kart to it would need to be 48" minimum width.

I will attempt to publish a photo in the next few hours. The answer is yes, we have what we call the elephant ear type rear bumper that has been used in the road racing program for the past 4 years.

Later,
Mike

This thread is useless without photos. Gary or Mike, do you have pictures?

I use that same bumper for road racing. Has taken a few pretty good hits and has yet to bend or have damage. Chrome is still perfect and shiny after 5 full seasons.

It is not however CIK legal for use in Stars of Karting just so you know.....
