most motorcycles sold in the states have major differences for the californian models due to tighter legislation. These changes include closed carb breather systems (not so much for de-icing but to prevent evaporation of fuel into the atmosphere), spark arrestors and mechanisms for burining off unused hydrocarbons in the exhaust. I am not totally sure what the exact differences are on the kwak, but this might be something to consider. The barrels , head, cases etc should be totally the same, just fuel and exhaust systems might not be.
