nope, stand behind the bike and crouch down. follow the midpipe w/ you're eyes down to the header. before you get to the header you'll see the 02 sensor no problem! you'll notice it right away.

it should be nothing at all. the only difference (correct me if im wrong) is the 02 sensor. my bike was bought in CA, the guy was military and moved to VA. i bought it from him when he had moved to VA and the bike is no different than a buddy of mines who bought his here in MD. only difference is the 02 sensor. if you took you're bike from CA to FL you shouldnt have to change a thing. i changed nothing on the bike since i've had it. and as far as i know he didnt change anything either when bringing the CA bike to VA.

They say that california models have 2 horse power less then non ca models! You may not have to do anything at all! You could run the bike with out the smog stuf butt i dont think you would have to make an changes.

I'm not seeing one so apparently I don't have a CA bike, unless I'm staring at it and am retarded. The reason I'm so curious is that I'm getting ready to buy a slip on. All I see is a bracket securing the pipe, no O2 sensor.
