Anyone have to have emissions test on their Type 3's? I wonder what they would be? I remember CB Performance putting EFI (& Turbo?) with a cat converter in a double cab van and It's was so good it would pass the (at that time) California emission tests. Any one remember this? I don't remember if this was a write up in HVW or VWT or if it was in their catalog. Most if not all of the new motorcycles have gone to watercooling as part of the noise and emissions issues. I don't think someone would design a new air-cooled engine today with the restrictions that we now have. They do make aircooled airplane engines, and I guess new designs too. This is a over simplification but the more efficent your engine is the less polutition it will make. 2 cents and change Richard (PapaG) "Erkson, Toby" wrote: > Oops, sorry for that miss!
