They look like exhaust pipes. Unless you mean the skinny silver one with anodised ends, which is a rear brake pipe I think.pepsi wrote:what kind of pipes are these?

Sorry Pepsi, couldn't resist it. 
If I'd known the answer I'd have said. Seen a few pics of Japanese KR's with similar pipes but have no details about them. In some cases I suspect they use the standard pipes, cut off the silencers and weld flanges on for generic aftermarket cans.

Yes, those ones are not the same shape as OEM. Probably obscure JDM aftermarket stuff not heard of since 1985. I have a few old Japanese bike magazines from that era that I scan for KR-related stuff but not seen any adverts for pipes.

I think I'll take them off and hang them on a wall
Probably not
, however I might remove them and clean them up inside and out.
