    Harley had to pay the EPA 12 million and have to spend 3 million to recall there super tuners because they caused excessive pollution.

    Yea not a Toyota thread, but just shows how the Gov is cutting the nuts of our engines and making them more Prius like.

    Just a matter of time before they go after all the tuner companies in all automotive/motorcycle industries.

    You can blame the assholes with diesel trucks who think it's cool to blow black smoke at all times of the day. EPA is cracking down on aftermarket emissions modifications hard

    Good- I'm glad it's not just VW that is getting fined for emissions.

    Let me guess, they frown upon leaded race fuel too.

    You have no idea... They are trying to complete ban aviation fuel used in piston aircraft. It has lead in it but low amounts compared to its older now banned fuel.

    Dyne jet power commander is the most versatile for Harley, new rides are notoriously lean, new intake, exhaust and a new map gives them the power they are capable of.....

    Very true, but this may lead the EPA to going after Dynojet and others as their devices which basically correct the over lean (EPA friendly mixture)
