Hi Mo,Originally posted by slow mo View Post
at it happens, my XS11SG is in the garage with the tank, seat & sidecovers off.
I was also able to find my steel leftside XS650 sidecover and my plastic XS650 rightsider.
Will they fit, as in plug right on? No effin' way. The mounts are in the wrong places, the covers are too long front to back and too shallow top to bottom.
Never mind that the XS11 is the only bike that used that locking thing on the leftside cover.
But if you were desperate I suppose you could carve away at a set of XS650 sidecovers to make them cuddle up to the frame tubes and mostly hide what they were supposed to hide, cut new hanger holes in the top and dream up something to do the bottom attachments.
But "fit" is not the word I'd use for the result.Fred Hill, S'toon

side covers
There is a guy in NW WI selling XS11 parts. He has a set of sidecovers for a 79 Std, yellow, but could be easily repainted. I bought a rear rim from him for $19.99, and picked it up. He seems to be a very nice, honest fellow. Says his auctions go pretty cheap. I told him to post things on this site, but don't think he has yet. He just parted out a 79 F, his user name is stretch123. Do an ebay search, he is very reasonable with shipping, seems to have a friend at the post office. Try him, Woodville, WI, an hour and a half from meput something smooooth betwen your legs, XS eleven
