Default Keep stock pipes?
Just picked up my new (to me) bike. There are a few boxes of "take-off" parts that I still have to go and get.

Wondering if it would be wise to keep the stock pipes in case some kinda crazy idea becomes law in the future?

I've always kept everything, not worth much anyway and I would pay more for a stock bike than one with a lot of changes.

yep keep them until you move on to another ride. You or a buddy may need them later.

Keep all stock parts in case you sell, new owner might want those parts and your sale could depend on them!!!

As stated above there not worth anything and the next possible owner may feel better seeing the takeoffs.

Yup, You never know what Al Gore will try to get passed next. I'm sure the cap and trade bill will have something to do with after market pipes.
