well here in aussie land the blue coats only have to think your motor is loud and they inform EPA who sends you a notice to report, once there they doa test and ifyour motor fails you get a severe fine and ifyou pass ok you still get stung for the test $33 that is.

We use adjustable Mufflers here. They also are stock at our Harleys since 2006. Most times it help. Ask your Dealer for the tricky Germanpipe system. Good luck and may theroad never end.

I spoke to a Anaheim motor officer during lunch a couple of weeks after the citations began. He was not happy about having to pull over bikes as he also rides. They were issuing basic fix-it tickets and not the more costly and obnoxious violation referenced above. The crackdown was only enforced for a couple of weeks to satisfy the resident and show the departments cooperation with residents. This area of homes is at the base of a very steep hill which is used to get to a local canyon ride out to Cooks Corner. (The resident wasblown off by the police department until she met up with the chiefof police at a charity function in Anaheim.)
Also, the topic of loud pipes is being brought up in manystate legislatures including CA. This was relayed by one of our fellow riders who happens to be a state assembleyman from Orange County.He made mention of this during a brief speech at the OCHOGtoy ride(1600 Harley riders giving toys to kids in the hospital)on Christmas eve.

Those are the EU stock pipes with the baffle in the top muffler that opens up as you pass a certain speed, typically a bit above 30 mph which is the drive by noise test speed in the EU. These pipes are louder than previous stock offering but not by much. In the UK we can no longer get the dealer to fit any non-legal pipes on a new Harley. I am sure Germany is the same now. The US appears to be playing "catch-up" on the EU and other places.
