Not for Road Use :(

Just noticed the prominent stamp on my LV Titanium pipe..."Not for Road Use",
too bad they could not have stamped that on the inside edge of the pipe!

I'm sure you've got a dremel...
Or make a small aluminum or SS badge to bolt over the top of it using the two bolts on each side, if you're that worried about it...

or add two words and flip the intended use around

You can unscrew the screws and flip the stainless band. Voila...it's on the inside.

Something like "DOT Approved"

Make a tab that will bolt on under those 2 screws that reads something like "save the rain forest" or "I heart puppies" "DOT approved" would be ok too.

Should´ve got the Arriows. They´re approved for road use.

But they're big and heavy and the same price as a full Ti kit :-P

after 15 minutes of riding I doubt you could see that through some mud, dust and dirt..

Not approved for street or off road in the USA. I had them and returned them to the dealer. I wish they had a spark arrestor and some marking of being USFS Approved. No dice on either. Nice set up though

I'll take them :P Nobody in SC really cares about DOT approval... For example, my stock cans are gutted, perforated-core flow-throughs...

But, go on a Forest Service road and they'll care. I got stopped on my 610 last summer. Ranger knew exactly what to look for. But, he admitted he didn't care about emissions stuff...just valid tags and a spark arrestor. And he knew all about different spark arrestor types. Said he busted a guy on a KTM who had gutted the vortex-style spark arrestor those cans have. You can't tell from the outside, but you can tell if you shine a flashlight down the tailpipe.

But, I've never heard of a motorcyclist getting a fixit ticket for emissions hardware alterations. Cops out here have better things to worry about and don't really care.

My 630 is an SMS, so probably not too many fire roads in it's future

I wonder how hard would it be to make something while you're at it, gutting your cans

The stock cans are designed such that, if you gut the cat and the sound baffle, you can keep the spark arrestor.

Love it!

My twin Arrows are Titanium, weight loss (according to Husky sales literature) is three pounds (1.5 Kilos) and they´re Husky stamped as alternative original equipment and are therefore street legal in Europe. So, are the Arrows sold in the U.S. different (not titanium, not street legal etc?).

I got stopped down near LA too. The only thing the rangers were doing was putting a stick into everyone's exhaust to check for arrestors. No arrestor? Ticket. Arrestor? have a nice day.

My LV says the same thing.... With all the loud cruisers out there the police never even look my way as I come by. Of course the bike can be pretty quiet if you shift to a higher gear & get off the throttle. Cover it up with the suggestions above if it's a problem. G/L

I'm not sure if the Arrow pipes are physically different here in the states than the ones you get in Europe. I have heard how loud the pipes are and find it hard to believe they could be legal in Europe. I thought Europe's sound decibel levels are stricter then the USA? Anyway, they are not stamped with a USFS approval and are not equipped with a spark arrestor. I asked my dealer to contact their Husky rep and explain my concerns regarding legality in the state of Connecticut where I live Waiting on a reply from Husky is worse than watching paint dry so I said screw it, order up the Arrow pipes and I'll deal with the details later. I figured since the pipes are in the Husky special parts catalog and are intended for a 50 state street legal motorcycle I'd be fine. Well...lesson learned for me, never assume anything. The rep said the pipes are not intended for on road or off road use in the states. They do NOT offer a spark arrestor insert for the TE/ SMS630 Arrow pipes either. However, the do offer a spark arrestor insert that fits the Arrow pipes for other models, for instance the TE511. Great...I said, am I supposed to drive around in my yard with a thousand dollar set up?? I don't think so. Back to the dealer they went in exchange for some Leo slip-ons and a store credit. The Leo's are equipped with a spark arrestor and USFS marking which is good enough for where I ride.

It really is too bad because I loved the look and sound of the Arrow pipes. Unfortunately where I ride in Connecticut I must have a spark arrestor. Most local police in my area don’t bother loud Harleys or rice rockets on the street. They DO like to stop and check dual sport bikes that appear to be strictly dirt bikes. I know plenty of people that got tickets in the woods by rangers who patrol the state land for not having a legal set up
