dkcustoms state inspection issues?
In California you might have a problem with loud exhaust from a LEO.
But there is no real enforcement going on in regards to tuners or air cleaners or External Breather Systems.
The following is a copy and paste from the California State Website.

Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption?
Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is:
Gasoline powered 1975 year model or older
Diesel powered 1997 year model and older or with a Gross Vehicle Weight rating (GVWR) of more than 14,000 lbs
Electric
Natural gas powered with a GVWR rating of more than 14,000 lbs.
Motorcycle

They haven't banned them, they just make it difficult to get for newer bikes. I've never had an issue with exhaust, including the supertrapp with no baffle on my old bike, when pulled over.
Like I said, some LEO's are nit-picky. Depends on who pulls you over and if they had their coffee and donuts for the day...

It is easy to swap out air cleaners...even with threadlocker...we do it all the time, when testing different A/C's.
HOWEVER, in PA Motorcycles are excluded from Emissions (smog) Testing.

The following vehicles are excluded from emissions testing:

Even California does not do smog testing on motorcycles, see their website -

In PA, you probably have to have a safety inspection, where they check brake lights, mirrors, turn signals, horn, etc. They will not even pay any attention to your air cleaner set-up during a safety inspection.

When I asked the tech if he's going to check the brakes, His reply was "You got here right...."

The State Police here hassle me quite a lot about my cars, but they don't seem to give a rat's *** about bikes. Other than a VIN verification on out-of-state purchases there are no inspections, safety or otherwise. Just don't speed and you're golden.
