Jeez. Why on earth did the exhaust roses get the gold bling treatment?? And how did the downpipes end up that colour too? 'Orrible brake line run from front calipers with no dust covers, right up to the m/c. Wrong discs with missing tab washers. And allen bolts to retain the duck tail? Careless attention to detail. Cam chain adjustment pretty much used up. Still, the tank badge screw slots line up so must be a good 'un

I gotta admit, the exhaust ‘nut’ does look off, not right at all. I know there are occasions where certain optional upgrades with certain bikes,,to different metallurgy, to reduce chance of loosening, are out there. For example my ‘74 Norton, there’s medication exhaust nut in steel loosens a lot, but when replaced with a brass one, it never loosens as the brass and aluminium expand and contract the same under temperature changes. I’ll dig up a pick of that on my bike.

I do enjoy a good rivet counter response!
