what I read says bikes built in 2000 and after will have to be smog checked if the law passes. that means you have to have stock exhaust so don't sell the pipes that came with it. I'm gonna just keep fixing my '97 till I know whats happening.

Just to put it in perspective, green house gases are 3% of the total atmosphere of the planet. Of that 3%, only 3% are man made. Now of the 3% of the 3%, how much of that comes from motorcycles. God bless Al Gore.
