look at other Yamaha bikes, the sporty road bikes, or call a dealer and talk to the parts guy... ask for the OLDEST parts guy, not some young kid that doesnt know a Tenere from a hole in his pocket.... be nice. tell him what you need.... they are usually walking encyclopaedias.
Good Luck!

a cheeper way would be to make a new bracket for your calliper this can be with a piece of 6mm steel plate or get an enginer to make an adapter for you . i am fiting WP USD forks to my 4pt and will be using the original calliper with a home made bracket.

I assume that's a 1VJ? Has it had the input nozzles removed/blocked and either the filter access lid removed/drilled, or the top of the box drilled? If so, that's a mod I've read about to mimic the later 3AJ box and pull cooler air into the engine, thus lessening the risk of the supposedly common 1VJ overheating. Not sure that it will give any noticeable increase in poke tho...

The later xt's were lighter, so the same hp feels stronger.
you 02 is jetted rich from the factory. Opening up the intake and the exhasut could help you unveil a few extra ponys.

Cheers Jens, yeah the old airbox has holes drilled into it so its sucks cooler air but certainly has more oomph than my 02....I was thinking of putting on ansuzuki 450 exhaust as someone told me that would help???
