Forked

[DGXSER]

Does anyone know if the fork cover form an XS400 will fit well on an XS11? The part numbers are so dang close but not exactly the same.

What is a fork cover?

Item no 21 in this fiche.. The piece that covers the brake line splitter and such that the forks go through before the headlight brackets?

The XS400 uses much smaller diameter stanchions, 33MM, as opposed to our 37MM. The spacing may be different too. Thats all I got.

Thanks Phil, saved me getting hit on another ebay purchase!!

And for the record, the headlight bracket from an 850/750 special is not the same as the XS11 Special either. (not how I got burned though, guy advertised XS11 parts that turned out to be XJ parts., working with them on getting a refund or something)

DG, in case you didn't see these, one for 10 beans, one for 20 beans...

I had missed those Phil, thanks!! After shipping they were actually about the same price each.
