better Rally the troops. If that passes you all will have to try and find stock exhausts even if the current mufflers are noise exceptable.

That is the very reason Ron and I kept our stock header & mufflers with the cat and put them on a shelf in the shop, and bought our catless from Rollinfast on eBay. Stock headers will go sky high if this becomes commonplace in all states. Just sayin!

I have 50 state legal SE's on the Triglide and I belive my Supermeg doesn't say anything on it about being competition only, on the trapp I run a closed cap so they won't be able to get me with open baffle or straight through. The 50 state SE's have baffles and are not straight through also, so I'm safe there also. Sad to say this will be the wave of the future thanks to some of the bad eggs who think loud is good, their just pissin off the public and getting laws passed to get it under control. I've sat in parks and watched reactions of people when some ham head sits at a traffic light rapping on the throttle on his FI bike like its an old shovel with a fat idle circuit, the reactions from people are not positive.

As always a few bad apples ruin it for us all. You must show at lest try to some respect to those around us.

Loud pipes lose rights. It's as simple as that.
I had my neighbour a first time rider go back to quiet pipes'.
