I'm curious what the exhaust straps hide as your silencers look shorter than normal?
The ally sleeves have still got all the engraved writing at the ends, but appear to have lost about 6" [150mm for MT's incomprehensibles] from the middle. I wonder whether some baffles fell out at the same time?
This is an interesting bike that has clearly had money spent on it back in the 90's: a little fettling should see it looking it's best again.

Going to have a look at the exhausts shortly, have some original mounts on the way
