need help please

is it possible to register a 49-state bike in CA? or is that out of the question.  this is assuming the bike is not "new" in DMV standards (less than 7500 miles)

i dont' know but i bought my 97 gs500 in cali and it has an extra canister...

kerry has a picture... if yours doesn't have it maybe find a used one (if it is even needed)

It is possible, you may have to try really, really hard.

Do a search on BayAreaRidersForum.com if I don't get back with a link.

its not just the canister the carbs are different i got some ca carbs and some 49 state carbs the difference is an extra hose running into the bottom of the carbs
