[QUOTE="twowheelnut, post: 353421, member: 10"] Just look at Honda. Everyone bitches about their lack of product or the product becoming more and more scooter-like. Now, just why do you think that is? Easy. They've seen the future in the regulatory crystal ball and are preparing for it now. I give full-on sport bikes 5, maybe 10 more years before they are no longer available. They are not going singularly after motorcycles. The regulate all motor vehicles. They've gone after the main automotive industry, the aftermarket AI, custom hotrod builders, grey imports, etc, etc, etc. So there is history and precedent. People want clean air and water, but they can't have that without regulation. It's pretty simple, really. The company that made the equipment sold their product in a state that specifically prohibits certain modifications to the emissions systems. This is the point. If they knowingly did sell these units, then they are at fault. Further, the consumer will be nicked when the time comes for MC smogging (and it will come), when his or her bike fails because of those mods and devices. True to a point. There have been a couple of instances where Johnny Law has cited folks with aftermarket pipes. There will come a time when you'll get tagged for nothing more than non-OEM pipes on a regular basis.
