Um it just did... Harley has agreed to stop selling "emissions defeat devices", pay a $12 million settlement AND "buy back and destroy aftermarket engine tuners that the U.S. called emissions-control defeat devices"

As long as HD passes their emissions test, they won't care.

In the spirit of the VW Diesel debacle..............Drill down enough and you'll find that there are do-gooders who hack into vehicle ECU's to verify that they're compliant with emissions standards. That's how the VW issue came to light.

I wonder if they target motorcycle tuners, and if so, who's next? The good folks at Power Commander might want to dust off their resumes.

404 error. Article no longer exists.....

I expect that all of you out there running performance enhancers on your bikes, and not using them for competition only, will dutifully remove the enhancers and destroy them.

Since the success of that lawsuit against Harley, the next step of the EPA will be to go after all of the aftermarket companies which produce tuners, pipes, etal. Get ready. It`s coming.....

And, like most "environmental justce warriors" these regulators probably rack up 1000's of frequent flyer miles on emission control free jet aircraft.
