In the context at hand, yes, it is, actually.
You're using the fact that a Vicroads inspector didn't defect you for the pointy bar-ends to counter the point made by another party in the debate that pointy bar-ends make the bike unroadworthy according to the relevant regulations. If you weren't defected because the inspector was a slackarse who can't be bothered doing his job properly, then that says nothing about the regulations, just the incompetence of the people tasked with enforcing them.
In other words, your anecdote doesn't prove your point.
I'm happy with em, & at the end of the day, thats all that matters.
If you really believed that, then you,
a) wouldn't've bothered posting pics of them, and
b) wouldn't've just spent a page of posts justifying your choice.
The frame on my ZX9 is powdercoated a screaming bright red. It took a lot more effort on my part to get done and sticks out a lot more than a set of tacky-arse pointy bar-ends, yet I haven't posted any "Hey, guys, look at what I got!" pics of it. That's what shows that I don't care about the reaction to it from the general motorcycling public in the way you falsely claim to.
I didn't make a big deal out of how cheap I got the bike which formed the basis for the project, either.
Stop making out like you're something other than a show-pony.
