Marcus and WendyL,
You're right about the non-parallel lines and I'm usually stringently OC as well. However, I looked at the angles many times and decided the slope looked better (the other side is exactly the same). When u look at the entire bike from the side it sort of works with the other angles somehow.
Another reason for it was the holes left after removing the "Two Brothers Racing" badges. By angling the badges a bit I was able to drill only one xtra hole in the mufflers and to have the badges straight would have required two. How OC is that!
A final reason 4 the slope is the Honda wing emblem. It has three angles that mean that only one side is parallel to any external feature - and it looks good coz of that. Look at the wing on the topbox and u can see that it's angle gives the impression of flying. In a similar way the badges on the mufflers accentuate the slope of the muffs.
Finally, if I didn't have 2 drill those extra holes I would have lined up the badge with the muff and u would have been happy 2!
