I'm lucky here. Live in Alabama where there is no vehicle testing of any kind. Would eliminate 50% of the cars out there. You can have a stick for a brake, it doesn't matter.
Keep that in mind if you ever visit here.
When asked by "the man" if my pipe is legal, I usually say"WHAT?".
Then I point to the writing on the pipe that says it's legal on a Harley. They don't know the difference. The only place my bike says Suzuki in on the crankcase.
'96 with harley muff with baffle punched. Kinda loud. I like it
