It's underneath ( I think just in fron of the rear tire??). I haven't seen that the muffler was different.

Which consists of a vent line from the gas tank to a carbon canister which is also connected to the carb. No other dif that I know of.

I believe it has extra hose(s) to the canister is why. Not near my bike, but I have 2 hoses that come out of the carb that go backwards (not sure if into air box or to the canister - mine is a CA model). I don't know if that is standard on other LS650's.

But, as far as carb changes... CA or non-CA, doesn't matter. No real difference in them. Just do what everyone else does.
