I like the return spring on the rear brake master cylinder.

Not my sort of thing but the OE xj is so horrid it's a massive improvement.

It was a pre-diversion XJ600, I think they looked ok stock, they were supposed to be good bikes, unlike the Divvy that replaced it.

The original XJ600 was a very average bike, I think it came out about the same time as the GPZ600, the GPZ was a much better bike.

As for this one, it certainly looks better than the original XJ, but it's polishing a turd.

Paint job looks good!

The Yamaha logo looks like it's been painted on properly so it's "level" with the rest of the paint, IYSIM.
