So no side reflectors means it’s not a USA release bike? (This one is in Australia)




I can't speak for all markets.. but the Federalized (US) bikes have prominent side-reflectors.

Sharp looking SE, did you have to make any modifications to fit that exhaust system? Looks like it mounts to the original foot pegs/rest bracket?

Not my bike as yet, the pipes are a Lafranconi set that will need matching headers - I’m seeing a few pics of MK4’s that have the pipes attached to the foot peg bracket.
The originals appear to be hanging in the wind? Or do they have a bracket behind then that can’t be seen?

If you mean the Lafranconi's, there is a bracket as seen in this picture:



I purchased these headers from Teo Lamers for my Lemans I even though I was hesitant with them being a two piece header but I haven't detected any leaks but I did use some RTV when installing.  Nice finish but of course they are pealing in the usual places.

Tasty stuff there blackcat  :boozing:

As far as the original mounting goes, they also hang from the foot rest bracket, but the separate mounting bracket is further in (or I should say the pipes are further out)..
