Certainly not the 'newer' XJ900 Diversions' exhaust.  That engine is tipped forward at about 45 degrees.

Wouldn't be a popular mod in the US.  The XJ900 was only imported here one year ('83?)

Not 100 per cent sure, but I think I have Xj900 pipes fitted to mine. they were on it when I bought it, and look very similar to the pipes in your pics.

I suppose if you want to you can make anything fit, but I have to admit these look better than standard pipes anyday.
