Got pulled over today on the way home. Got a ticket for CVC 27150 "Adequate Mufflers Req'd". Not the reason I was pulled over, but got cited for it.
Anyone have experience fighting this?
Pay the ticket and move on.
It's not that simple. It's a fix-it ticket.

Sounds like you're looking for some stockers
Well, I'd rather not go that route if I can avoid it. Those were a pregnant dog to put on....
add whistle tips, WOOOO WOOOO
Bummer. Kinda hard to fight a ticket that says you must have a muffler when you didn't have a muffler.
If you have the stock pipes just put them back on and get it signed off and pay the $25.
What State are you in?
I have a mate who could make them quieter for you.
But his Grandma's cat just died.

That's the issue, I don't have the stock pipes anymore. I've had the Boom Tubes for years now...

Kinda a pain, but I see LOTS of stock pipes on eBay for cheap. Or, maybe someone local to you can loan you theirs. Just a thought. Maybe ost a thread requesting that.

OK, I fell for it and Googled, found nothing.
Is that an Oz saying?

Cat prolly won't mind in that case.
They're easier to handle that way. [thumbsup]
I have a couple sets of stock pipes and I'm just down the road. Unfortunately, you have that S2R.
Just keep the tubes when you leave CA.
Are those originals the ones you sent me and are now on my ex-bike somewhere in Brisbane?
On a side note the other day I was traveling on Highway 50 when I looked over and saw a CHP pulling up next to me with his window down. I was doing 76 in a 65. Luckily there was a car going a bit faster ahead so I just got the big smile when I looked over and slowed a bit. The point being not that I did not get a ticket but that the ZARDS are awful quiet with the DB killers in. He got the car.............
Good luck with the fix it ticket. It is Califukya so getting out of the ticket won't happen. If the bike was built in 2013 it is actually a largish ticket to modify any part of the emissions system any longer......
Bow to the migthy quiet god of ZARD!

Wow, I never would have found that. Only problem is how to contact him...

Yeah, an email would help. I PM'd him for you.
Nakid, i have my stock s2r1k pipes and cat sitting around somewhere. I'm happy to "rent them" to you for the cost of shipping/return shipping if you think that will fix it
let me know, and i will go dig through the storage..

Thanks Herm. I'll let you know what route I decide to go.
how much time did they give you, here in Montreal we have 48hrs to fix it.

Usually two months here.
Court must be backed up. Court date is August 1st.
And the saga is over. Got the ticket signed off.
My secret method? Abosolutely nothing. I made no changes to the bike. Just took it to the local CHP office and told the guy I needed it signed off. Came out, looked at it, had me start it up, then he revved it a bit and said "ok" and away I went!

To help you fit in for the 6 months you are here IZ: we don't call it "the" PCH. Just PCH. :)

Some places charge to sign off the tickets, this office did not. I now have to take the ticket to court and pay $25 per offence to have it dismissed.

You should be able to do that via mail.
Yeah well, gotta go and ask for traffic school for the speeding part of that ticket. 81 in a 65. Fines sure have gone up in that few years. Less than 20 over and the fine was over $700!!!! It drops it about $450 if I go to traffic school...

Have you checked to see if all of this can be handled online? My wife got a speeding ticket 6 months ago and was able to do everything online, including traffic school. Fine sounds high. Her's was $238 for 80 in a 65. $302 with traffic school. Traffic school was $15 or so.
I plan on going in and asking the judge for a reduced fine. This was in San Diego county and I was very surprised to see the cost.
Wow. That's expensive for the amount over. My last one was 20 over. Attorney fee + pleading 9 over (no insurance impact) along with court costs & per mile over costs was just under $400.

Why pay for an attorney?
I sit in court and watch the same two or three attorneys handle 5-15 cases a day and all they get for the people is the same deal they would get if they showed up. They charge between $200 and $300 per citation. If the defendant makes more then the attorney cost I understand but I don't think most of them do. Even if they have to miss work it's usually done by 10AM. In ten years I've never seen one of these attorney's go to trial on a traffic case.

I watched an attorney go to trial on a traffic case yesterday when I went to go for my day in front of the judge....that attorney did her job and exploited the facts that the cop did not present in his case at all....my case was 61 in a 30 reduced to 59 in a 30...went from $300 and 5 points to $150 and 2...no lawyer...just me pleading for some leniency by going guilty with an explanation.

Depends where you are. When I appeared for my last speeder they would only plea to a lesser speeding ticket, in short, still points. They did hint that it would become a parking ticket if a lawyer showed up. My lawyer just called. Parking ticket ;D Previous ticket, different town, same state. No lawyer was needed. Parking on sidewalk, pay cashier.
Depends. I got a ticket in FL and almost immediately started getting mail advertising for traffic citation lawyers. Got the cheapest one at $35. He must probably handle all cases in that area cause I just faxed him all the info and he got all the charges dismissed.
