For, let's face it, an '80s style Yam the bar end mirrors and exhaust are a terrible choice. Basically it says the owner wanted to emboss their own style upon the bike but gave up after page 2 of the eBay tat listings.

Also, the dust cap is missing from the rear tyre valve.

Christ on a bike!! What berk did that?

I suppose all that stuff wrapped around the exhaust pipe conceals a flexible connector?

(edit: SP)

The exhaust is mounted to the same point on the s/arm as the rear shock. Unfortunately, the s/arm moves independently of the frame/solidly mounted engine, which the exhaust should not.

There's the original silencer attachment point right in front of where the thing's mounted, too. If I "did" Farceberk I'd tell 'im about it!

Sort out the silly exhaust mounting, give it here and I’ll tour around Blighty with it and feel no shame Thumbs Up

Hmmm? Questionable styling that’s for sure.

Bingo.

It's OK.
Look closely.
The rest of the exhaust is made of rubber so it will just bend.

Back to the original question.....

I don't know if this has been mentioned, but why have the wingmirrors been glued to the end of the handlebars? I just can't wrap my head around as to why someone would do something like that? Thinking

Mirrors on the ed of the bar means the view isn't full of your shoulders and 5he go in place of the bar end weights.

Makes the bars a bit wider though.
