ANTI-TAMPERING LAWS INFORMATION
This symbol appearing throughout our catalog means that the specified items are not California Air Resources Board (“C.A.R.B.”)
compliant, and are not legal for use on pollution or noise-controlled vehicles. Vehicle Code section 27156 prohibits the
installation, sale, offer for sale, or advertisement of any device, apparatus, or mechanism that alters or modifies the original
design or performance of the motor vehicle control device or system. These items are legal only for racing vehicles which may
never be used, registered, or licensed for use, upon a highway or public roads. VC 27156 only applies to emission-related add-on
and modified parts. These are parts that are not functionally identical to an original part on the motorcycle. Some examples are fuel injection
systems, re-jetting of carburetors, aftermarket catalytic converters, performance camshafts, and gear sprockets. Conversely, parts that serve
as direct replacements to stock parts, like spark plugs, plug wires or air cleaner elements, do not need to be exempted. Note that exhaust
systems (headers or mufflers) intended for installation on non-catalyst equipped motorcycles are also considered by ARB to be replacement
parts provided all emission controls originally connected to the exhaust manifold are reconnected to the exhaust system and are functioning
properly. CCI offers these components solely for racing vehicles, and is not responsible for any illegal application or use thereof. This
disclaimer shall apply in the state of California or other states where anti-tampering laws regulate modifications that affect emissions for
motor vehicles. Federal and state “anti-tampering laws prohibit the installation of any add-on or modified emission-related part on any
pollution-controlled motorcycles, unless the part has been exempted by ARB. ARB exempts a motorcycle part from the prohibition of VC 27156
if the part is found to do either of the following: 1) not reduce the effectiveness of any required emission control device on the motorcycle or
2) demonstrate that the applicable emission standards are being met when the part(s) are installed on the motorcycle. Motorcycles which are
manufactured for on-road use have been pollution controlled since the 1979 model year. Starting with the 1979 model year, add-on and
modified parts for on-road motorcycles have been required to receive an anti-tampering exemption.
As a distributor, Custom Chrome USA LLC makes no representation or warranty with respect to whether the items in this catalog are legal for

modified emission-related parts. For a list of CARB-exempted aftermarket parts for highway motorcycles and for more information see
