Switch gear lables

[John]

Have you guys seen these on ebay yet? Auction number 4618797866. I have been in touch with the seller, and he would be willing to have a batch of these made up if there is enough interest. There are even labels to go around the ignition switch, and a ckoke label for the XJ's.
What would y'all be willing to pay for a sheet of these labels? I'd willing to pay up to $15 or so for them. They would really spiff up the switch gear, especially after repainting them.

I would definitely take a set. I just took a look and almost all of mine are unreadable. I don't even have one around the ignition switch. Should I?

Funny you should mention this. I was looking at what was left of my switch gear lables and was trying to figure out how to make new ones. New lables would sure spiff things up.

[randy]

This kind of stuff is right up my alley!. I'd go $15 for 'em.

[bandet01]

i would be interested in a set of them since i am repainting the bike right now

Hey John,

Sorry to be the 1 dissenting vote so far, but even with my upcoming makeover,paint job, it's still a "RAT", and I know what the controls are for and do. I'm thinking of painting over the control sets all black, sorta stealth, and perhaps might keep it a little safer, if some jerk tries to steal it, but can't figure out what the controls are for!?

but not to worried about someone absconding with the 80G.
(but they might just for the windshield )

Think out to put on an alarm???

Only 13 0f you...

Want new lables for the switches? Wow, y'all must have some good looking switches. To those of you that are interested, I'll be in touch with the seller in a couple of days, when the ebay auction is over. I'll see how much the cost will be on lots of 20 or so. I might be able to get some interest on the triples site. The more we want, the less expensive they may be.

Someone on the XS650 list made up a bunch of switch labels a while back and offered them to listers at very reasonable cost. The XS650 Specials use the same controls and labels as the XS11. I'll have to search through the back posts when I get a chance and see if I can find out who that is. $15 seems reasonable to me though if they can be had for that.

All of my bikes' handlebar controls are still very readable but the iggy switch on my XS650H and XS1100SF are not. I've got an aftermarket iggy switch with a barrel type security key that's in new condition complete with label exactly like stock that I'm going to install on my 11 when I get around to it. I think it's an EMGO brand. Used to see these for sale all the time but I haven't seen them in awhile, just the regular key type.

There were a bunch of sets on ebay.de a while back. Listed for XS11. As well as new original rubber thingies around clutch and brake levers, and some other hard-to-get-stuff. Check it out from time to time, I think the seller ships worldwide.

The auction is over

I won the labels. I will be in touch with the seller, and order a batch of the labels. So far the count is 13 interested. Any more of you interested? Do you 13 still want them? I don't want to get stuck with a bunch that someone has changed their mind on. I will place the final order on Monday. The offer ends then.

[Pat Kelly]

I'm one of the aforementioned 13. I'd take 2 sets (when/if available)

[webbcraft2150]

Sign me up, will pay in advance. If ya come to the rally, I could pay in person

[John]

Sorry Webb

But any long rides are out. SWMBO and I went for a ride yesterday, to see how well I could hold up for any kind of distance. We didn't stop until 74 miles when we found a gas station out in the middle of nowhere, and decided to fill up. I was very uncomfortable. On the good side, 1.96 gallons for 74 miles. 15 of which were freeway speed, the rest, just putting along 35-50 mph. Around 35 mpg, I'll take that kind of milage anyday. SWMBO got over 40mpg on FJ11. Figures Her bike is faster AND gets better milage.
On the subject of the decals...I won the auction, and I have asked the seller to get me a price on 15-20 sheets. We won't know until Monday or Tuesday, plus I posted them for sale in the XS Triples forum, so I'll keep the offer open for a few more days. I hope everyone has a great time on the rally. Be safe, be careful. Have fun. Wish I could be there.
