Diablo thanks for the clarification as is / was much needed. 
What I had been told by a well known bike solicitor was basically that if you stand at side of bike and take the centre line of wheel as 12 oclock then the rear of body/guard should be 10 oclock (or 2 oclock depending on what side your viewing from) He also went on to say that if you back the bike up to a wall the body of the bike must contact the wall before the rear tyre does.
It would probably help the cause if there was a clear basic publication of the rules and regs re the common mods. I know ADR's are in place but the interpretation of them in the way they are written many times can be confusing to say the least.
Modifications are here to stay as it's part of what makes us all individuals and the aftermarket zillion dollar market confirms that.
Sadly one would have to add here that my own observations would certianly indicate that public safety and irresponsible actions are no longer the motivation for bookings / penalty notices being handed out. Have no problem with a man doing his job ............. but a "fair suck of the sav"
would go a long way towards public relations in my eyes, and have no doubt would benefit all parties involved.
