#1) The Laser Pro Duro is probably not USFS certified because it is a
European unit and it is just getting into the American market.
#2) If you get caught riding on USFS land, BLM land, or usually State Park
land without USFS approved spark arrestor, you are normally screwed. You will
get a healthy ticket. If the Ranger has had a shitty day, or didn't get any
last night, or you if you give a little attitude, you might lose your bike
until after your court appearance. Check with Fred or Dennis Kirk and see if
the slip on spark arrestors would fit the Duro, of course you would need the
Duro can's measurement numbers. The clamp on cans are USFS approved.
#3) You could inadvertently start a fire. I'm not BS'ng you. An exhaust
without a spark arrestor can start fires.

Jeff,
I understand your feelings about this, but if you are going to ride a KLR
you'll have to get used to it. I can remember in the late 80's and early to
mid 90's where you could not find squat for the KLR. Support for the KLR has
been a recent thing as time goes. I don't like the high prices either, but if
I want something bad enough, I'll have to cough up the dinero. That is just
the way it is. Even though us DS riders think there are plenty of us around
to support market research and subsequent manufacturing, it really is not
true. When it comes to actual motorcycle types, no mopeds or scooters
allowed, DS bikes are the minority in the bike world. The after market guys
go with the money. If they can get $250.00 off of the GSXR guy, instead of
$50.00 off of you, they are going to put more emphasis on the sport bike
riders. I know it sucks, but that is the capitalistic world. Follow the money.
