No more SEII's?
I have heard a rumor that because of the new EPA regulations the SEII pipes will be "retired" along with a lot of other performance upgrades. Rejetting/remapping will not be allowed on any bikes; both 2006 and pre-2006. Is this true? Anybody know? I was planning on paying the Harley tax sometime in the future (SEII pipes, air cleaner, rejet), but I may get up and do it earlier if this is true.

RE: No more SEII's?
I believe that these restrictions will apply to 2006 and later model years.
If you currently own a 2005 or earlier, you will still be able to modify it in the future.
The restrictions are on the model year rather than a blanket restriction on all bikes.
This is my understanding (which I hope is correct)

I read the same 2006 and up are not allowed by dealership/repairshop/owner to be modified emissions wise (air intake, exhaust, etc).
Now, on 2005 and down to I forget what year, it is STILL illegal to modify emissions. However it is the owners responsibility, not the dealerships if you have them install, say, loud pipes and get pulled over.
Kind of like stores that sell and install radar detectors then tell you it's illegal to use. (for those of you that live in a state like mine!)

RE: No more SEII's?
So, if we buy a 2006 Road King Custom, we have to stick with the stock pipes? To me, sound is a huge part of a Harley. The stock pipes do not say Harley to me! Won't this hurt sales? Maybe we should buy a 2005 instead?
