The XSR looked good in the yellow/black that Yamaha sold it in, but that one at the top is trying too hard to be something it is not. I don't dislike it, but I prefer to update the '80s Yamahas than retro the new ones. The RZ is mine and the TZ belongs to the friend who sold it to me 25 years ago. Next up it is getting an FZ600 twin headlight upper grafted onto the RZ lower fairing, the only feature of the bike that I have never liked is the square headlight. Also have some stainless pipes for it. It feels like a bicycle compared to the VFR.

The 5th gen ('98-'01) exhaust should work right onto the header you have. You will just need to fab up a mount coming from the passenger footpeg/bracket. Possibly the 8th gen, the exhaust diameter is the same, but I'm not sure if the angle is the same.
