It's quite a trick to fit 5 pipes onto a 4 cylinder engine, I'll give them that.

How the fuck do you ride that?

The cylinders are where your shins/knees should be with the seat in that position!

You don't ride it - you just lounge around adjacent to it, trying to look moody and soulful.

And failing.

Whilst looking for a path wide enough for you to turn it round and push it back to the trailer it arrived on.

Strikes me that all the available flying bricks have been bought up by the cafe racer customising crowd.

How original.

I'd say you've timed the sale perfectly.

But I'll pass, thanks... 8-)

If you start from the left...

The second to last one is for cylinder 4, the last one (which looks like it is for cyl 4) is actually from cylinder 1. It comes straight back from cylinder 1 and then makes the turn upwards and joins the pipe from cylinder 4.

I only figured that out cause I know the norm is to join the outside pair together on a 4 2 1 (and the inside pair of course, through powers of deduction).
