It fits underneath the front of the gas tank where the upper part of the frame and down tubes meet. Gives a finished look to the frame connections and hides the wiring harness and coils.1980 XS11 LG (Diablo)

Thanks Ron.
I looked and looked and still can't find where it bolts in. Where does the curved part face towards?1980G Standard, Restored

Cover...
You know, I've looked at every f*&^#@g picture of the Specials we have here and did not see one with the cover. Seems it would look pretty cool. Someone should grab it. It didn't sell on ebay.1980G Standard, Restored

Not on mine
So it seems that every XS11 Special left the factory wearing one of these plastic collars but they are now so rare that most Special owners dunno what they are? Certainly my XS11SG did not have one when I bought it. I must say that had there been one on my bike, the first time I'd have had to remove it to get at the coils or whatever I'd have flung the thing in the trash. How many Special owners on the list still have theirs or would choose to fit one if they didn't?Fred Hill, S'toon

My special is not wearing its cover right now but I still have it. Seemed like just a cosmetic piece that hid the wire looms that go up to the headlight.
There is a small bracket that fastened to the frame and the cover is screwed to that.Mike Giroir

Frame cover
Although the covers may be a PITA it seems as if they would dress it up nicely and maintain the stock/restored look of the bike. I would put it back on after I finished the bike... if I had a Special.1980G Standard, Restored

Hi Craz,
just for you, let me modify that statement.
