Thanks for getting the "official" statement, Jerry. [smiley=xyxthumbs.gif]

Motorcycle Emission Standards

STANDARD      

[CVOJOE]

So we looking at Screamin Catalytics or Bub Catalytics it looks like.

Now, before anyone decides that the end of the world as we know it is upon us, thanks to the EPA, take a look at the attachment.  This vehicle meets much tougher emission standards than even the 2010 motorcycle standards.  It's amazing what can be done with a little modern technology.  And look at the price - not bad considering the price of our SE Harleys.

I finally got the call from the dealer to bring the bike in for their "Cold Start" fix.

Does this mean that as soon as the 'useful life' of the emission control system is over, you can go to whatever replacement you want to?  18, 640 miles on the odometer and you can put all the performance exhaust systems on the bike you want to?  That's nothing!   har!  spyder

Yesterday I was told by someone at a NC Dealership that they would no longer be installing Reinhart exhaust and other performance exhaust systems.

It would appear from the previous posts that some areas are planning to actually enforce the anti-tampering provisions of the law.

Hmmm. I wonder if that is for bikes made in 2006 or 2006 models also made in 2005 - Hmmm gray area, you gotta play the odds

The NHTSA standards for "motor vehicles" are set by model year not calendar year.  If a company intends to take advantage of the preceeding years standard the only way to do it is to build units up to December 31 of that year.

2006 models "all" are covered by any legislation pertaining to the model year.

... they will only be checking dealers for anti-tampering violations, not owners.

I for one am concerned that the epa is going to make everything on the road look and sound like a honda. We all need to start ( or continue as the case may be )supporting groups like AMA and ABATE ,etc that are actively trying to work with the epa instead of all of just bitching about what is and what will happen to us. Because the worst will surley happen without a strong presense from the millions of riders and supporters out there.
