Which side of the bike somethig is on is typically referred to from the riding position, so sit on the bike facing the bars, from that position, your right is right side and left is left side.

You did not specify if you have a Standard model or a Special model. The front brakes are completely different between the two. If your axle is mounted directly to the bottom of the forks you have Standard forms and will use Standard brakes. If the axle is mounted to the front of the fork tubes just abve the bottom, then you have Special model forks and will need Special model brakes.

does it have 2 bolts holding it on, or 1 threw center with nut at top?

Welcome to the site. You will get all the answers you need here. In addition to my XJ1100, I have an 80 Standard, but it's still in boxes waiting for me to put it together.

I see your in Corvallis, a few of the members here will be there on the 21st and/or 22nd for the Oregon Vintage Motorcycle event, see the following thread for more info.

oh and as for the bike i dont know if its a standard special or? i just got it about 2 weeks ago. the side covers just says eleven, but those could be off another bike. the gas tank has the center cap not the side cap

The front forks say your bike is a standard. As such, it shares brake components with the XS650, for which parts are plentiful. You may shop brake components at 650 Central, Mike's XS, and well as the few XS11 parts vendors out there. New calipers are available if the problem becomes serious enough to warrant it. Mike's XS has them.

Your forks are from a standard so thats the type of calipers that you need. I have a set of Special frount brakes but that wont help you much.

and your calipers are on backwards the bleeder screw goes on top
