It's just a shame that Buell motor isn't a three cylinder. They could have braided those pipes instead of just twisting them around one another. Judging by the color, I would guess these are made from stainless "U" bends and then TIG welded together. Lots of work fitting all those individual pieces together and welding them up. One of the main goals with headers is normally to have the tubes the same length, with the length being determined by the rpm range of the engine and a couple of other factors. As crazy as these look, they might actually work pretty well. They're going to be pretty obnoxious as far as the decibel level goes, but as they used to say: noise = horsepower.
I found the picture at The New Cafe Racer Society, by the way. It's all about one, two or three wheelers. Lots of good stuff and it's updated daily from what I've seen.
