ANTI-TAMPERING LAWS INFORMATION
This symbol appearing throughout our catalog means that the specified items are not California Air Resources Board (“C. A. R. B.”)
compliant, and are not legal for use on pollution or noise-controlled vehicles. Vehicle code section 27156 prohibits the installation,
sale, offer for sale, or advertisement of any device, apparatus, or mechanism that alters or modifies the original design or
performance of the motor vehicle control device or system. These items are legal only for racing vehicles which may never be used,
registered, or licensed for use, upon a highway or public roads. VC 27156 only applies to emission-related add-on and modified
parts. These are parts that are not functionally identical to an original part on the motorcycle. Some examples are fuel injection systems, re-jetting
of carburetors, aftermarket catalytic converters, performance camshafts, and gear sprockets, Conversely, parts that serve as direct replacements to
stock parts, like spark plugs, plug wires or air cleaner elements, do not need to be exempted. Note that exhaust systems (headers or mufflers)
intended for installation on non-catalyst equipped motorcycles are also considered by ARB to be replacement parts provided all emission controls
originally connected to the exhaust manifold are reconnected to the exhaust system and are functioning properly. CCl offers these components
solely for racing vehicles, and is not responsible for any illegal application or use thereof. This disclaimer shall apply in the state of California or
other states where anti-tampering laws regulate modifications that affect emissions for motor vehicles, Federal and state “anti-tampering laws
prohibit the installation of any add-on or modified emission-related part on any pollution-controlled motorcycles, unless the part has been
exempted by ARB. ARB exempts a motorcycle part from the prohibition of VC 27156 if the part is found to do either of the following: 1) not
reduce the effectiveness of any required emission control device on the motorcycle or 2) demonstrate that the applicable emission standards are
being met when the part(s) are installed on the motorcycle. Motorcycles which are manufactured for on-road use have been pollution controlled
since the 1979 model year. starting with the 1979 model year, add-on and modified parts for on-road motorcycles have been required to receive an
anti-tampering exemption.
