    Right hand control

    Has anyone used these on an XS11? These are from Mike's XS and are for the 650. Does anybody know what size bars the 650 has? These are very reasonably prices as compared to BikeBandit.

    Just about every UJM has the 7/8" bars. I have not heard of anything but a Hardley that uses anything else (1" bars). What item are you looking at? A link, perhaps?

      Mikes controls will work, but may have to change some of the electrical connections.

          If you're not going for the stock look, you can easily upgrade to controls from a modern bike. It is a pretty simple re-wire and with really nice usability. They are also readilly available and cheap.

            Hi Dale,
            that switch will work on an XS11 but the wires won't be the same.
            Mikes killswitch also has a "lights on-off" switch so there will be two more wires in it's pigtail. Nothing that a multi-meter won't sort out for you though.

              I did not think about the light sw Fred but maybe I'll put a Siren on it and use this switch to activate. Even better, I can use this switch for the "Silent Mode"!!

                  Hey Foreda: I have one on my bike, they have 2 styles - one with & without the switch. I used the one without the switch - less junk. The wiring is pretty easy - just take your time & wire in to the existing one. Hell if I did it anyone can. Oh & they work great. I also had an xs650 & used the same new switches for it & they also worked fine, of course they just pluged right in. F.Y.I. I also used there other one for the lights on the other side & its working fine. The xs650 bars are 7/8's just like ours on the xs1100. Its great to have new controls - no worries. - Dan

                      I had to just cut the plug off my harness and crimp on new male spades to fit into the female spade 4 wire plug on the switch without the lights. It works good and I haven't had any problems yet. I haven't wired up my left controls yet, but they don't look much harder other than they aren't plug and play also.
