    the "stem on the original xj600, is welded in, i would think a complete front end, including wheel, brakes, mudguard, forks and tripple trees. would be your best bet, then either source bearings to suit, or get some bushes machined up

    Honda F3 or F4 are conventional forks but with cartridge internals. GSXR600 from '99/'03 are also conventional looking but with the modern cartridge internals,
    way better than the old school damper rod forks I have, set on a track bike. I have early R6 cartridge forks (41mm) on my Yamaha XS 650 that are also conventional looking.
    besides the cartridge inserts, you get very modern brakes and lower offset triple clamps.
    Cheers, 50gary
