Sometimes people "set" them like that to give some elasticity to rear brake feel.
It moves away from a severe on~off feel that a straight rod can give, more of a modulated delicate touch to the initial response.

Looking good Dave. Gives inspiration for those of use still stripping a project bike of what it could like like 👍

I get it Nigel! My OCD couldn’t cope with that!😂

Here is the elusive air filter cover kindly supplied to me at a great price by Roo from one of his foraging trips to South Carolina scrap yards. . My bike was imported from South Caroline as a bit of a wreck without the cover so who knows if it has been reunited ! The grill as usual was rusted to bits so I've replaced with stainless sheet from ebay. Hard to shape the curved ends. None of my clippers strong enough and tin snips inaccurate. Ended up using cutting disc on my rotary tool.

Nice work David, do you have a link for that mesh supplier? If not I’ll just search. And good on ya Roo!
