If your power train warranty is safe, well ****, we're all good! You can barely call that thing an LRS, more like 24VLRS

I've owned a lot of bikes, all of them with aftermarket exhausts and I honestly can't recall a single user post damning me for pissing my warranty away. It just doesn't come up and I've never had an issue (BMW, Ducati, Triumph and KTM). This is my first Harley and damn here people are zealots (or sensitive sallies) about it either way. I say do whatever the **** you want. To me motorcycles are about passion, enjoyment and having fun. If I **** away 2 grand out of pocket to fix something that would normally be covered because I wanted to tinker with a $400 tuner, pfft, whatever, you only live once man and you can't take it with you.

I think the difference is that, until recently, Harley has always helped with bikes that had aftermarket exhaust, and even encouraged it. Then the EPA got involved and Harley has done a complete 180 as a result.
