er, i just love it when you jump in both feet first..

read this closely and you will see the new 2010 XR1200 does not need a cat in the US, not even in California
Where as it is fitted with one in Europe.

Also all XR1200's from 2008 are fitted with a cat in Europe but not in the US, again not even in California!

As part of my tuning up a EFI thread, I asked Matt at Matts about the whole argument for changing from EFI to carbs - his response was "there is no power advantage to be had changing from efi to carb,in fact a well set up efi wil give you slightly more than the equivalent carb set up."

Apparently he's the man. So, if its a question of extra performance, looks like working with an EFI may be the most profitable route, I'll continue on my EFI post

Scotty, as interesting as your link is, it pertains to engine and emission controls, eg those that control fuel vapours escaping from the vehicle's fuel system and how they are dealt with - not the exhaust system.

it is a key reason why vehicles don't have carbs any more and harley and their partners have been playing with fuel injection for over 2 decades.

fyi - In California, Bikes manufactured for on-road use have been pollution controlled since 1979, as have add on or modified parts. Off road bikes have been pollution controlled since 1997.
