Clears the XRs Only header.
Does NOT clear the Big Gun header.
CALIFORNA OWNERS BEWARE: SOME NEWER MODELS HAVE AN EVAP CANISTER THAT INTERFERES WITH OUR SKID PLATE. WE MAY ADJUST OUR DESIGN IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE DO OUR NEXT BATCH BUT FOR NOW, YOU WOULD NEED TO NOTCH OUR SKID PLATE TO CLEAR IT. THIS WOULD NOT AFFECT OUR WARRANTY. SEE PHOTO BELOW.
ALTHOUGH WE WOULD NEVER SUGGEST THAT CUSTOMERS DELETE ANY SMOG EQUIPMENT OFF OUR BIKE….THIS IS NORMALLY NOT A PROBLEM BECAUSE THAT CANISTER SEEMS TO BREAK OFF THE BIKE ON THE TRAIL FREQUENTLY, DELETING THE PROBLEM.
