RE: CA emissions controls

["Retherford, Martin" <MRetherford@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I suppose you could give an order to Jack Lilleys for a new header system
front end and seals.  I can think of no way the catalyst can be removed
without changing the operation drastically.  We don't know if the same
inside diameter and length of pipe exists between the rest and us in the CA.

Has anybody converted their CA spec bike to a 49 state model (i.e., removed
the extra crap)?  I'd be interested in taking this step, but am concerned
about my lack of experience in this area.  I am under the impression that
this is a simple process on some bikes and much more complicated on others,
depending on the CA spec mods.  

I know that the CA mods on my '98 Trident essentially emasculated the poor
bike (from a stated 98 HP to an anemic 77 HP).  So much so that rather than
reverse engineer it, I traded it in for the Sprint after only a few months.

The CA bikes have the emissions canister on the top side and then the 
headers have a catalytic convertor brick in the collector (where the 3 
pipes come together).
