if your not in CA, why spend the extra to put it back on?

+1... You could use the $$'s for other unnoticeable upgrades.

I agree with these guys. I am not familiar with the CA equipment, but if it is anything that will add weight or rob you of hp, then all the more reason to leave it off.

[Alley_Kat]

off.
Unless it is going to CA, then on.

IMHO: There is no reason to re-equip it with California pollution control equipment. All that does in practical terms is increase the potential pitfalls in diagnosing problems and adds a layer of complexity to an otherwise very simple bike.

Yeah , even if you're doing a resto , I HIGHLY doubt that making it 100% original would do anything to effect your resale value , which seems to be why most people opt to do that crap anyway . Just extra crap that can cause problems . Justmake sure you do it right , or you'll be wondering whay it ain't running right : . I did one myself .
