Hey,

I live in Auckland, New Zealand and Night Rod Specials are as rare as hens teeth. I've just purchased an 07 NRS from California and it will be on a ship to NZ next week. Went to the local Harley agent to buy some new riding gear and the salesperson recognised me as I tried to buy a NRS from them a few weeks ago. Told him that I was importing one from California and he said that was a big mistake... the reason he gave is that they are built differently to comply with strict Californian emission standards. I smell BS.

Please set my mind at ease!

 

I say BS too. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think I am. In 2007 all VRSCs, including the VRSCDX, were 50 state street legal---meaning that they were all built the same. I know that previous years are different between California and the other 49 states but i believe there is no difference in the 07 VRSCs.

 

I believe you are correct; '06 was the last year of "California Emissions" and the additional charge. I think it was $249. Bought mine in AZ and I don't think it's CA legal.

 

Im not sure if they are different or not, but its very easy to fix if it has Ca. emissions. REMOVE THE CRAP. Its that easy, if the bike does not already have a aftermarket exhaust you will probably buy one for it anyways. Then get a RT or a PCIII and set it up properly, then all you have to do is ride the thing.

 

In November last year, I went to the factory where all VRSC are made in KC Mo. The emmissions stanards are built into them all the same, Nothing different for California.

Who you calling a ***?

 

Himself, he's letting you know he's a ***. If you look at his activity here he got on the VRSC section to post a bunch of one word posts to boost his post count. Purely a ridiculous and childish move.
