Re: Aftermarket mods illegal?
In michigan, most of our bikes are illegal right off the line.
Michigan law has a "under 2 break horse power" and an "under 30mph" standered for mopeds. But out of all the 'mopeds' i own. Not a single one follows those laws.

That isn't a half bad idea.
Avoiding copyrighting laws could be a pain in the but tho'. We would have to use all original pictures/phases. But i think some awesome merchandise would come out of it.

Something tells me the meaning is being misinterpreted. I suggest that it means Honda warranty will be voided... Unless it's People's Republic of Kalifornia. In that case, it may possibly be a criminal offense.GIJoeBob wrote:I was thumbing through my Aero 80 service manual and found this on p.12-Tampering with the noise control system is prohibited......among those acts presumed to constitute tampering are the acts listed below:
