Geoff is right, these bikes have met all standards since they have been imported in 1995. Many of the Chinese bikes are either not certified or have forged or counterfeit stickers. The Federal government has turned a blind eye to these violations for both DOT and EPA rules where the Chinese are concerned. They know full well, but have decided to do nothing with them. What do you think would happen if Harley knowingly violated these laws? Because the Feds have not done their job, many of the states have started to intervene, but most are ill equipped to deal with the issues do we run into this onece in a while. We would like to get involved on your behalf so that we can make sure that this doesn't happen to any other Minnesota customers. Please call us at 800-201-7472 and ask for Doneen
