CA Emission vs 49 State
As I posted in a earlier thread I'm in the process of deciding if I should push up the delivery date of my SG which in turn would make me have to pick an in stock bike. They have a CA emission in vivid black, and a 49 state in pewter denim. I know the exhaust is different but what's the other differences and how will they effect "hop ups" like 103" kit, true duals, and intake? I live in NC so I don't need a ca emissions bike. If they had a vivid black in 49 state the decision would be a no brainer.

The hardware parts of the engines are essentially the same.
It's the pipes that had a catalytic in them and the ignition module that changes the Smog stuff.
Also, you cannot purchase a 110cc or 103cc kit legally in California.
Every dealer I spoke to said Harley will not ship to California?
Then why do they sell 110cc CVO bikes?
But, a 3 hour ride to Vegas and I'm good.

I thought California has a law you can't register a new vehicle that is purchased out of state. From reading other forums, there may even be a problem with low mileage used bikes brought into California.

I don't live in Ca nor do I plan on moving or going there anytime soon. My issue or question is, since I don't live in Ca, but I buy a CA emission bike, does it limit what I can do to the bike (performance) and still keep some type of warranty but also still get good performance. As in 103" kit, true duals etc.?

I agree. Nothing but extra crap to worry about, especially if you want to uprade the motor in the future.
