Adding just the screen can still get you in trouble if you wind up getting stopped and inspected in the woods since the stock system doesn't have the appropriate USFS approval markings. Around here there have been a few people who have had their bikes impounded for not having an approved spark arrestor

It'd take a little bit of work to come up with a retaining cap for this but it might be an option for folks who want to try it out. Includes the necessary ID tag and everything.

Yep, the FischMoto spark arrestors aren't cheap, but they have embossed Forest service compliance on the exposed ring, and available in 5 or 6 sizes with simple set screw installation.
The only real problem I see is that some exhaust pipes have narrow tips, so it may restrict flow more significantly. But I guess that would affect anything that fits.

I just pulled the trigger and got the FischMoto one. I live very near USFS managed lands. I like having something easily identifiable as compliant as I'm sure I'll get checked at some point. The price point seems triple what it should be but it's done.

They are the only ones I am aware of that have "Forest Service Approved" Label right on the spark arrestor, and I looked for a while.

I am currently using ASA material for it's anti UV properties. I will have a photo of it put together later. I have a multitude of materials that I could use I can print this from just about anything that some could want. Here is the bracket model image:

Did your spark arrestor arrive yet?

Please report back after installation. I am curious if it makes the bike any quieter.

It sure did...I haven't installed it yet. I'll report back with the exhaust sounds before and after (it took me forever in my dark garage to get that carb back in after rejetting and wrasslin' the plastics in place).

Thank you to all the helpful people on this forum. Moment of truth....first attempt at starting. I ended up turning down the idle a bit and making it a Lil richer (more popping on decel than I cared for). Omg, the adjustable suspension alone was worth the extra money. Only 12 miles on it now but very little vibration.
