You'll have no problems with you pipes, and as for regulations changing to a Canadian ownership it is different in each Province. Some make you change your speedo to KM and some don't. Bikes are as cheap here as the U.S. sometimes but the big difference is acc. All acc. are cheaper in the U.S.
Where are you moving to?
There are some great independent shops in my area and maybe i can help you with some roads to ride in the area you're moving to.

Yep, no oproblem with noise. My V&H BR are plenty loud.
Most, if not all provinces will make you switch over to km. Maybe sensors in your pipes. But thats it.

Make sure you practice walking around angry.
It seems everyone here in Toronto is angry.
I'm obviously not in vogue here.
And yes buy there before you bring it here (Im working up here now).
Everything is expensive. If they have what you want at all.

check out this site:
http://riv.ca/
It will answer the majority of your questions. You will have to have a federal inspection done and a provincial as the two don't recognize each other.

Jeff, thanks - will be moving to Quebec - Montreal. Are you in that area?
Found some info on that riv.ca webpage but still not clear how long one can ride with US plates. Read that the US drivers licence is good for 90 days upon 'settling in' - wonder how that#s defined when travliing back and forth. Anybody had some issues at the border with customs etc? I plan to get all my stuff shipped there but then going back and forth between Quebec and NY and the Northeastern states - it's so close...
Again any recommendations are highly appreciated.

I am in Toronto about 5 hours away.....but if you could choose the Province with the least amount of rules....Quebec is it. Besides from the women being spectacular it is a pretty open society....you're gonna love it. Great riding back across the border in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and upstate New York.....all great areas to ride. If i was to recommend 1 city to visit in Canada to an American....Montreal would be it....

I'm fairly certain you can ride around with out of province/country registration and licensing for 6 months. After that you'll have to get insurance and registration in your province. Should take you till the winter season, then you have all winter to figure it out.

The day is coming that a passport will be required to cross the border via any mode of transportation.
