87 kx 500 exhaust pipe

I have noticed on the newer pipes that there is a bracket down by the front of the engine. My 87 pipe does not have this. Does this bracket get eliminated if the newer pipe is used on the 87 or does it connect to the frame somewhere?

well after some problems locating the platinum pipe( talked to pro circuit and they are backordered and not far enough to do a run of 50 which is how they prefer to do it and i understand) the guy i bought the pipe from offered me a works pipe for my 87 that was left over in their wharehouse. after authenticating the pipe with pro circuit i took it and it looks fantastic on the bike. my question is does anyone have any tips on keeping it looking good. thanks!

PJ1 clear coat paint.  Unless you want to scrub it with scotch-brite and wd40 it after every ride.
