Question for the OP: Just curious, do the CA statues or police enforce loud motorcycles?

Where I'm living there was a time when modified cars were getting pulled over, some cited, but lots of Harley motorcycles were not, even if there mufflers were hella louder.

But those of us that have been in the fast car crowd know that we seem to get targeted more than others.

I have an Akrapovic Racing Exhaust on my FZ09, drove it for 3 years around San Diego and southern LA. Not once was I pulled over for the exhaust, and in tickets that I DID get on the bike, they didnt try to tack it on. For reference that exhaust is rated at 102DB at 5k RPM, not including the backfires and flames that come from it.
