ANYONE RELOCATE THEIR EMISSIONS CANISTER???????

wlfpak65 · Jun 25, 2012

I tried searching the site if anyone has relocated their canister yet but had no luck???? Soooo im asking now..... Has anyone up in here relocated their Emissions Canister? Preferably Inside the L&M Chin Scoop???? I wanted to know How & Where did you get longer hoses for the relocation???? & if you can post up pictures and how 2's

I don't remember who it was on here, but they said they just removed it. He said he ran the lines down towards the ground. I believe the non California bikes just have lines going down the frame to nothing.

I don't think that's true. I don't know, mine's the CA model, but I think the drawings in the shop manual show non-CA models as not having the tank vent.

I think you need to at least plug the lines.

L&M did a build where they relocated it to behind the radiator.

I relocated mine.... in the trash ;D

Gas tank line open to air. Throttle body line is plugged off. Canister sitting in orange county land fill.

I thought the manual shows the lines on the frame, then refers you to another section for Ca. model. I was just glancing through it, could be wrong.

At the end of the week my V&H pipes are coming in and will be installed with air intake and power commander and all that CA Emissions crap is being pulled off. After it’s done I’ll ask the shop what they did with the hoses etc.. and report back.

Are they ever going to smog bikes?

And if CA does start the bike smog testing will it be from that year’s model on or will it be retroactive, .. all bikes from yr 2000 frwd need smog checks…?

BOOLSHOT · Jun 25, 2012

I think if they do start smogging bikes, they will need to have whatever emission parts were on the bike. So I will probably remove my canister, but hang on to it... just in case..

74novaguy · Jun 25, 2012

Usually when California enacts a law it is from that date forward and all prior is grandfathered in. Right now with everything California has going on it will be a long time before there is a smog check for bikes. There's just not enough of an issue to spend the time on a bill for that.

sdsting · Jun 25, 2012

Yes when my mods are installed at the end of this week I plan to keep all stock parts, just in case..

If I had one I would relocate in the nearest pond or lake lol

+1. California doctrine follows expost facto. Which means any law enacted only applies to the affected from the enacting date. Preexhisting affected will be grand fathered in without judgement.

Ok, that's good to know. I thought that if the vehicle had emissions parts on it from the factory, that you had have those original parts ( or approved replacements ) on it. Diesel trucks for example. They have been coming with Cats for years, bit not needing smog. People were removing cats, but holding on to them for when they did start smogging them, because they would be needed. Not going to worry.. I don't see bikes being smogged anytime soon.

Yup what they said...... the smogs will happen but itll be awhile and only for those bikes newer and up on the effective year that smogging will be in effect

Here is an answer I posted in another thread regarding the canister. If you have more questions let me know mang!!

-----I ended up removing mine totally. It was very easy, but to give you brief explanation of where the lines come from. One of the lines comes from the throttle body... with that one I removed it totally from the bike and capped the opening on the throttle body. I bought a little rubber cap kit from AutoZone for about $5. The second one is a vent from your fuel tank, this line you will want to keep. I just tucked it behind the rad cover for now. Once the canister was off, I cut the bracket off with a cut-off wheel, finished it up with some paint. Looks a hundred times better that before.

As for the California inspection...... whatever.....lol... They don't smog bikes and if they started I would end up mounting it somewhere else.. but honestly... I don't think it is gonna happen.. The canister really takes away from the bike and there is really no need for it..

Here is a link when I did the forward controls.. You will be able to see some pics of the foot peg support with the canister and mounting bracket removed. Hope this helps..
