TITLE: FMVSS INTERPRETATION

TEXT: This is in reply to your letter of June 17, 1971, concerning compliance of the Norton(Illegible Word) Commando Production Racer with the front side marker requirements of the Federal lighting standard, No. 108.

It is our understanding that the racer fairing is detachable only with considerable time and effort. For all intents and purposes the fairing can be regarded as a permanent part of the vehicle and thus an appropriate place to mount the side markers.
