This is supposed to be a stock 1978E. And it may well be. Look at it and tell me if anything looks non-stock. I do not see anything, but maybe someone will????
Just curious.

Hey Mike,
From this angle it's hard to tell, but the mufflers don't look like the stock megaphone....they look more like a trumpet flare...but the headers look right.
The handlebars don't looke quite right....look like a straight "V" type shape instead of the lower "U" type shape?? The right shock upper mount bolt looks way too long?? That's about all I can see that looks ODD...aside from the bent left front turn signal, and I can't see the horns.

1978E Stock
Two more of the same bike. Mentioned so far are the mufflers and handle bars being suspect. Also, I believe this bike has a luggage rack and those long nuts/bolts on the rear shocks may be the hardware for that.
Can anyone tell what the mufflers may have come off of?

Mike. Since coming across a NOS set complete with heat shields that came off the shelf and not a bike some yrs. back, doubt if I'm gonna utilize the Jardines at this point
