I just found out that it's illegal and a federal offense to remove an airbox lid!

 

Who did you hear that from, the mattress police?

 

Same goes for removing or modifying the stock exhaust.

 

for sure, you won't pass smog in california if you have the air box lid off on a car....luckily no smog inspection for motorcycles....any "modification" or open air box needs to have the emission approval sticker and/or paperwork....for open cone air filter like k&n....k&n will only send this sticker if they designed the intake for that specific vehicle....you have to take a picture after you install it and send it to k&n...they send the sticker to be 100% legal....i've taken the picture in a completely different vehicle to get more stickers from k&n for my other vehicles....

 

I'm telling the mattress Police on you!

 

Its regulations set by the EPA due to the many crying car, truck, rv owners that were up set when they found out that bikes weren't required to be restricted.
its funny though a bike burns more efficiently than most of the newer non hybrid cars on the market. it a scan by the government to get more money from us.

 

Call crimestoppers brah.

 

One more reason to not do attention-seeking behavior on your bike....
If they stop you for some dumb traffic offense, depending upon their mood, they can also cite you for EPA emissions alteration. Things like "fleeing and eluding" or "drag racing" will almost guarantee the book will be thrown your direction.
