If they improve torque in the low range and keep the exhaust valves from overheating, I love them.

From a purely esthetics view, not really.

Function over form. Vs Form over function.

The blue alternator cover looks out of place, shoulda been chromed. I'm not a fan of the pod filters or all that open space under the saddle. So, Meh..

Not keen, maybe if they weren't so ridiculously long?

You can't fake a straight line.  And the longer a line (or segment) is, the easier it is to discern whether it is straight or not.  That long exhaust is arguably the dominant focal point of the whole build.  they're supposed to be straight, but they're not.  that visual noise drags the rest of the build down with them.....

With normal exhaust, it looks like a bazillion other already-done-that builds.

I don't see how those straight pipes have any performance function. They also look wrong on that style of bike.
