Need New pipes that are legal (The COPS say)
Yes the Cops said I need new pipes that are street legal. Except they all look stupid, or at least the ones I looked at wich are basically only Screaming Eagle pipes wich are the only ones I can find that are legal.... I have Vance and Hines 2 into 2 big radius's now and I love them.. I looked at the Rineharts and other Vance and Hines but yup of course all illegal. Any body have any ideas for legal pipes for me... Other than stock.. I like short pipes but they have to go past my rear axle aswell to be legal..If I get caught again it has to be towed and I dont get it back till I make it legal.. Anyone with any ideas or sugestions for my 07 street bob?
Thanks Guys.

Your bike gets towed to an impound yard to which you will not have access to it to perform the corrective action. Right? So, then how do you satisfy the law if it gets impounded?
What does the law state in your area? Are they illegal due to noise?
Is it a length issue? Fight the good fight?
Put your stockers back on?
After looking at a photo of my bike in stock form it sounds like even the oem exhaust would be illegal
Notice the front exhaust. It ends before the rear axle.
What is the verbiage of the law in your area? Do both mufflers have to exceed the rear axle?

I have V&H Twin Slash Slip ons, they are a deeper sounding pipe. If I have to, I can get a Quieter baffle. (Not until they make me)
Edmonton bylaw is 92 db, Calgary is 96 db, the little town I live in is trying to bring in a 92 db bylaw.
I am looking for somewhere in Calgary that I can get my bike tested. I want it in writing in case I have to go to court to fight bogus charges.
I also want to find out how they are supposed to PROPERLY test the db level.
I have a cousin in B.C. that the cop put his tester 6" from his pipes. He fought the ticket and won because it was tested improperly.
