Where can I purchase new or good-used pistons? PartsNMore do not list for my bike. Also where can I get braided brake lines and banjo bolts that I can make myself?
Thanks...Phil

Phil,
Y'can get brake parts from several different places.
Check out the orange column on the left side of the XS11.com page. Click on Tech Tips, or Links.
Run searches for XS1100 stuff using Google or your own fav search engine.
That is where some of these links came from, as well as from various message posts members have made.
Try these:
650motorcycles.com/mikesxs14.html, bikebandit.com, partsnmoreonline.com, xs650parts.com, to name a few.........
XS11 owner, Chris Rawson was selling SS brake lines. I was not able to contact him about them tho......
So, I bought GOODRIDGE SS LINES, & Banjo fittings, Banjo bolts, and new copper gaskets (crush #Washers) from a local Harley shop.
They had a great selection of sizes, and fittings..... But, they ain't cheap!!, Y'can get 'em all at the same time, then, and there. Not have to order and wait fer 'em.
