That’s what I thought about the crash bars too! What are they like? Not very sympathetic to the design of the bike. That second one there looks like an expensive resto with all chrome shot!

I think the crash bars on the first one have been fitted wrong. They are meant to fit above the exhaust headers not below.

Pushrod tubes look like early Model 50 or ES2, obviously pre-featherbed frame.
