you need to have a look at the Buell dog bone front mount , as Maz says
it wont fit what you have ..but you need some sort of isolastic mount at the front
or that will snap with the Buell vibration unfortunately

From the side picture, it looks to me like the front surface of the muffler is several inches too far forward. Using a standard Buell type mount off the front of the crankcase, I think you are going to need some straight pipe between the elbow and the muffler. Right now, you don't have that.

It's a North Carolina tax disk that ran out in 1999.

I'm going to modify the front of the pipe to take one of the Buell front header mounts with the sealastic bush what should I use at the back if they keep snapping the straps, is there a rear flexible mount?

Riders in Bristol. Ask politely for UKBEG discount. Note - They may be no longer available. Many important tube frame parts are like that now I'm afraid.

Ive got a mate that stays near you so I will get him at some time to pop along to your place, I may wait a while and get a few bits at the same time , the bike will be coming off the road ,I think I will add 2" to the pipe at the front of the silencer and weld on a lug to match up with one of these brackets I will have another think about the rear band as well.
