Everything is illegal these days. These unenforcable laws are just line item tick boxes to nail you to the cross if the system so desires. Everyone is a criminal if you look hard enough.

 

I would estimate that 90 percent of the Harleys on the road in CA have some sort of visually identifiable illegal modification. Nobody cares.

 

Thanks for all the input. I am considering the mod. Since I just discovered my K&N filter system actually doe's vent the breathers directly into the TB even though they say it eliminates external breathers.
Although I admit there was only a very small amount of oil in the filter, when i pulled it to clean, after approx. 2 K miles in use.
I am still on the fence deciding if it is worth it to do the mod. but if I do I guess I should stay out of VA.

 

You will be tazed, bro.

 

It's not like you coming to VA without a helmet. The VA State inspection is a yearly safety inspection only required for VA people. However don't come without a helmet. If you are pulled over without one, not only are you going to get a ticket, they are not going to let you drive away without a helmet.

 

That's nothing, wait till they find out how many people removed their cats and tore off their mattress tags ! You'll be tared and feathered and dragged down the street behind a Honda moped.

 

Seriously, but I have had a number of entertaining conversations over why my shovel doesn't require turn signals being it's a 72 and the law didn't kick in till 73, that was one of their favorite excuses for a who are you stop.

 

 

I finally got around to doing the mod and venting to atmosphere. I usually get a new bike every few years, and not worry about oil getting in the TB, but I have my 2014 Limited dialed in perfectly, so it'll stay.

I do get a lot of oil residue on my big sucker K & N filter, so i'm assuming some nice carbon build up on the heads. I'm currently running seafoam thru the fuel system and every Friday after work, i'm spraying thru the spark plug holes roughly a heavy tablespoon of seafoam to set overnight to melt away the buildup a little at a time. I'll get some good smoke the next next morning for about ten seconds.

I did the mod on the stock A/C. Really simple with the Rushmore set up.
