What are these Headers?

Picked up these Headers recently for a very reasonable sum. Anyone know what they are? I don't have a clue and nor did seller.

Also as you can see these have no allowance for the lower mount. Don't tell me there's pieces missing? Or do you not use the mount on De-cat Headers?

Motorworks do a British-made GS header set that doesn't seem to have the bracket fitted....the Y-piece is upside down though I think -

They also do a Keihan set - that definitely doesn't have the bracket. And they sell the Remus bottom mount as a seperate part, but your setup doesn't look like there's anything to fasten that to anyway. :?

They look just like the Remus de-cat headers that I have on my bike.

Looks like you got yourself a bargain there :D

The Remus pic shows the bracket that takes the mounting though - brokenwasp's seems to be missing that bracket.....you can see it in the Motorworks link I posted.

Yours don't have a bracket either? So is the exhaust supported at the bottom in any way?

No support at all and, as Phil says, no problems in 30K
Enjoy :)
