Yea, it's gorgeous, Yea I can't even think of affording it.

OK, I'll show my ignorance of the springs with a top 10 list:

10. They hold the pipes together
9. They are tuned to the resonate frequency of each cylinder
8. They cushion the blow when a body part comes in contact with the pipes
7. They are safety connectors in case the pipes come loose.
6. They rattle on the pipe generating a cool sound
5. They are purely cosmetic
4. They are mini heat exchangers
3. As the bike moves through the air mass, the coiled spring rifles the air flow, increasing the coefficient of drag while focusing the resultant vortex aft of the vehicle for a net increase in mpg
2. They hold your map
1. They were left over from another production run
