Sorting out the truth from the BS is difficult when the subject is the controversy at last weekend’s GSX-R World Cup Final, simply due to the number of conflicting stories told by various participating or interested parties.

But one uncontested fact stands out: No racer participating in the 2004 GSX-R World Cup Final at Road Atlanta turned a wheel on the racetrack with suspension parts known to be illegal. The controversy over alleged fork and shock modifications took place prior to the start of GSX-R World Cup practice, and the suspect pieces were replaced before any of the GSX-R World Cup riders went on track.
