'09 Touring Bikes and Catalytic Converters (What's The Truth?)
 
I've heard conflicting information concerning whether or not the '09 Touring models have Catalytic Converters in the head pipes.

One version says, "Yes, all models have CC."

The other version says, "Only bikes sold in some states like CA have CC."

What's the truth?

Thanks.

Page 30 of the 2009 touring model hand book "Touring motorcycles manufactured for international and California models have a catalytic converter in the exhaust pipe collector"

So, did you leave your cat on or take it off? :D

They are definately in the '09 SERG! There are a world of posts in the CVO site. I replaced my headers with non-cat headers I got from a guy who put true duals on his UC and it runs so much better and cooler now that it can breathe.
