Default California Emissions System??

I have a SGC with a california emissions system installed. Can I remove this without any adverse effects? I live in Kansas and bought the bike in TX so I don't know why this was even on there. Haven't really cared to much until it was in the way when installing my PCV last night. Anyone out there taken this system off?

Yes, many have. I live in CA and I've taken mine off. Just make sure you add a vacuum plug to the throttle body where the return line from the canister goes to.

ORIGINAL: WS6 Formula

Removing the vapor canister:
The single hose on the right side of the bike from the vapor canister goes up under the tank and doesn't connect to anything it is just a breather hose you can just pull it out.

On the left side of the bike you have two hose's coming off of the canister. The canister is labeled carb / tank, disconnect the tank hose and follow it up the frame to a little vapor valve, remove hose from the bottom of this little vapor valve and remove the hose. This is now your 49 state tank vent, you can also get the 49 state vent hose that connects to the vapor valve and runs up under the tank, it is in the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) item 13 on page 90 P/N 27296-04A TUBE, VALVE TO ATMOSPHERE and a retaining clip item 7 P/N 10113 CLIP, DOUBLE HOSE.

Disconnect the carb hose from the vapor canister, this line goes up the frame and under the tank to a connection behind the top left side of the air cleaner, it connects to the intake manifold, disconnect and put a cap on the port of the intake. (In the Harley parts catalog (99439-06A) on page 20 they list a cap plug item 21 P/N 90383-98 CAP PLUG, INDUCTION MODULE that might be the one to use.) This hose is difficult to remove, I took off the rubber hose from the plastic tube by the intake and pulled the hose out from the front of the tank and broke off a clip that supports a harness that comes out of the bottom of the tank, but I was able to ty-wrap that harness to another harness under the tank near the frame. If you cut the plastic tube end off that has the ridge, it will not hang up on anything and it will just slide out.

The vapor canister bracket has a clip that you depress and then the canister can slide off the bracket. Loosen the two allen head bolts that hold the bracket on to the frame, remove top bolt then rotate bracket and put the bolt back in and tighten it down, then remove lower bolt and bracket, reinstall lower bolt and tighten it down.

Thanks for the info WS6FORMULA. I think P/N 27296-04 needs an A (27296-04A)

I did it following WS6's instructions a while ago. It is as easy as it sounds.

Looks like your right, info I quoted above is from mid 06 when I did mine, apparently they changed part numbers. Part numbers below highlighted in blue are the current numbers. I'll edit my above quote.

27296-04 TUBE, VAPOR VALVE TO CANNISTER

27296-04A TUBE, VALVE TO ATMOSPHERE

10113 CLIP, DOUBLE HOSE

10113 C/S SPROCKET 420 13T S

90383-98 CAP PLUG, INDUCTION MODULE
