Does anyone know if the XS650 forks are the same dimensions as the Eleven?? I want to know if a fork brace from a 650 will work on a XS1100.

I think all XS650 forks are setup like a Standards forks, the wheel is mounted at the bottom of the tubes, so it would probably work on a Standard.

The 650 forks are 35mm . The 1100 down tubes are 37mm I would think it won't work .BDF Special

If the brace fits to the fender mounting bolts, maybe. If it bolts to the legs at the top by the dust boots, I'd say no.2H7 (79) owned since '89

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to give it a pass. It was on FleaBay for 15 bucks NOS. So if you know of anyone with a 650 maybe they could jump on it. Search for: Fork Brace, Tweek bar for Yamaha 650 CC1979 XS 1100 SF(16k now, more to come)
