Hi all, a while back I got some reproductions of control decals (lights, horn, ignition, etc) on ebay... and have lost the name of the source of these... anyone know about them? TIA< jazzrat2000@hotmail.com

Dunno about labels, but another option is the switches mikesxs.com has. They would require rewiring as they are intended for an xs650, and you would lose the hazard feature I think. But they are offered in chrome and look sweeeet! Who needs the hazards anyway.... the only time I've used them is for electrical testing

I purchased the ones from ebay and they were crap. I had disassembled, cleaned and painted my old controls then tried to apply the new stickers, but they would not stick. I ended up buying new controls from MikesXS and have been very happy with them.1979 XS11 Special (slightly modified)

OK, a dumb question: do the controls MikeXS sells work on XS750s and XS1100s? I do not have an XS650... PS the ebay stickers stick fine on my bikes... I just need to buy another set...Dr. Tim Walters

Hmmm .. I used the ones from e-Bay and they works good and look good. Maybe you got a bum batch.

Maybe I did get a bad batch. Search ebay for "Yamaha Switch Labels" and some auctions will come up.
As for the MikesXS controls working on the XS11, all you have to do is splice them into the old connectors matching color for color. Not sure about the 750 though.1979 XS11 Special (slightly modified)
