It's got bags of character apparently. I can't see the fixing points though.

Only £14k more than you can buy a nice stock one for.
I think what we have here is a great example of what happens when someone has too much money and no effing clue. They modify their motorcycle to make it truly awful and having ridden it and confirmed that it's now utter shite, they expect to sell it for what it cost to build plus 'hipster tax'. It rarely works !

£2,995.00... are they having a giraffe?

If it were standard, it would be worth a bit more than it cost new, but that pile of sh!t would cost more to put right than it's worth.

At first sight it makes sense, Z900RS, sort of retro version, and old bikes had twin shocks.

BUT original twin shocks did NOT have piggy back reservoirs on them! Nor were they painted in lairy colours.
