Hi the later XJ 900 forks have larger diameter staunchions so you would need to swap the yolks , plus the handle bar mountings will differ. Norton Andover have stocks of fork sliders which are new old stock and will go straight on your staunchions if they are ok . Ive just purchased a pair for a little under £100 and brought my forks back to as new .
