      I thought the box was for a kick starter as my bike has the rubber plug in the kick starter location. Roy

            security ?

            OK...have only a few F's a couple SF's, down to one sorta G, an LG and a SH... BUT have no "security chains" nor have I seen a place to keep one. How about a pick of what it be and where it's kept

                Maybe a Maxim thing?

                I have mine and have used it a few times. a bit tricky to get it back in sometimes. sorry no pic MRO it lives in a "box" below the side cover. Uses the same key as the ignition which is handy.

                  Pictorial Deficient

                  Behind left side cover be the tool box right behind the battery.
                  Mine have no room left for a chain altho have managed to stick in a spare H4 bulb on my standards.

                    Chain?

                    I've had a couple of these XS's and worked on several others and never saw any chain or box to hold it.... Are you sure it's a XS11?

                              OK, I believe you
                              Daily ride is a special, but no chain.
                              The other SF, LG and SH be chain deprived as well
                              Not that I would want a "security chain", but would like to see just what the OEM one looks like
