Thats what I was thinking....If they start having inspections again. That would surely open up a can of worms now wouldn't it? I think I will probably rip it off anyway. I need another good addiction anyway  |

Taking mine off cured the backfire blues! My '08' would go off like a gun here and there, removed all that clutter and not even a little pop now!

Granted this is the internet, but the last time this came up, it wasn't an issue IIRC. There is possibly some legislation in the pipeline in Red Kalifornia, but I think it was Boatmark who said that it would be effective on the model year that the law went into effect, and goin forward.
If you think you have politicians in your state who are going to pull a stunt like this, then do what you can to get rid of them. As long as we reward imbeciles, we'll get more of them, not less.

Flashback hinted that emissions inspection might be another reason not to remove it...........
WI's stand on the issue. http://www.dmv.com/wi/wisconsin/emissions-testing
EXEMPTIONS
A vehicle is exempt from emissions testing when:
It is a 1996 model or older
It is a diesel powered vehicle
It is a motorcycle
It's comin' off!!!  |

I think most know that federal law not to remove emissions devices.
But, if you don't have inspections, one can't see what ain't there 
In July 1, 2000, the State of Florida abolished the auto emissions test requirement for all vehicles throughout the state. The smog-tackling program only lasted nine years and had often been a fiercely political issue for many Florida residents and legislators.

316.2935 Air pollution control equipment; tampering prohibited; penalty.--
(1)(a) It is unlawful for any person or motor vehicle dealer as defined in s. 320.27 to offer or display for retail sale or lease, sell, lease, or transfer title to, a motor vehicle in Florida that has been tampered with in violation of this section, as determined pursuant to subsection (7). Tampering is defined as the dismantling, removal, or rendering ineffective of any air pollution control device or system which has been installed on a motor vehicle by the vehicle manufacturer except to replace such device or system with a device or system equivalent in design and function to the part that was originally installed on the motor vehicle. All motor vehicles sold, reassigned, or traded to a licensed motor vehicle dealer are exempt from this paragraph.
...
...
(7) The Department of Environmental Protection shall adopt rules that define the specific wording of the required certification and the circumstances under which the certificate is not required. In addition, the department shall adopt rules as necessary to conform to requirements of federal law, to establish procedures to determine compliance with this section, including specifying what tampering activities constitute a violation of this section, and to provide for exceptions and waivers. For those rules applicable pursuant to subsection (1) to licensed motor vehicle dealers for certification by visual observation, the air pollution control devices or systems that shall be included in such certification for motor vehicles dated model year 1981 or later are the catalytic converter, fuel inlet restrictor, unvented fuel cap, exhaust gas recirculation system (EGR), air pump and/or air injector system (AIS), and fuel evaporative emissions system (EVP). The department may by rule remove or add devices or systems to this test if justified by developments in air pollution control technology or changes in federal law.
316.2937 Motor vehicle emissions standards.--
If the Department of Environmental Protection proposes to adopt the California motor vehicle emission standards, such standards shall not be implemented until ratified by the Legislature. If the department proposes to modify its rule adopting the California motor vehicle emission standards, such rule modifications shall not be implemented until ratified by the Legislature.

as I read those laws--it seems to mostly apply to dealers. now then again, by the time I get to the end of the paragraph (law) I've forgotten half of what I just read. And my AIS stuff is in a box on a shelf in my garage. If I ever decide to sell my Roadie--the box goes with it and the new owner can decide to leave as-is or install it. |

Form the EPA site about motorcycles.
Many motorcycle owners personalize their motorcycles. Indeed, this is one of the joys of owning a motorcycle, and owners take their freedom
to customize motorcycles very seriously. We are not changing existing
provisions of section 203(a) of the Clean Air Act, as established in
1977, which states that it is illegal “for any person to remove or render
inoperative any device or element of design installed on or in a motor
vehicle or motor vehicle engine in compliance with regulations under
this title...after such sale and delivery to the ultimate purchaser...”. In other words, owners of motor vehicles cannot legally make modifications
that cause the emissions to exceed the applicable emissions standards,
and they cannot remove or disable emission control devices
installed by the manufacturer.
Each state has it's own enforcement. WI could care less. CA however, will crucify you if I read correctly.
