Calfornia bike or not?

[ammpro]

Is there an easy way to determine if a Valk is a Calfornia bike or a 49 state bike?
I read that the cams are stamped "R2" if CA.
Do any of the labels tell?

The easy way.
The motorcycle VIN # will tell you what you need to know.

Here is the chart for reference. Depends on the model/year of the Valkyrie.

Wow! Good info! Thank you!
Also, good to know my IS is a 49'er (SC410).

doesn't matter, all '98 49 state have calif cams, I checked mine, I have a 49 state '98. according to the last dyno runs done by magazines of '99s I believe they all have calif cams also. easy to take the left valve cover off, manually turn the engine over to see the stamp. the only way to know.

Or look for the smog canister under swingarm.
