Sorry. I was talking about that vacuum advance module on the end. I don't have that. I have a bunch of pics on my photobucket account. It's under jhagemeyer84@hotmail.com. I'm not the best photographer.

If you don't have that, they are not XS1100 carbs, but are off of something else. All years of the XS have that fitting, I believe even the XJ's have the fitting, it just goes to an electronic module instead of the vacuum pot under the ignition cover on the engine.Cy

Sometimes you'll get lucky and the lower 8mm hex bolt will come out just with an impact gun. An automotive seal puller (hook type) comes in handy too, the seals are a tight press fit. Removing the old ones can be a bear without it.

When I ran the VIN that's on the title (haven't checked the frame) it said it was an indigo blue 79 1100F. With the center stand I am just looking to get one to work on the bike. I will take it off when I'm not working on the bike. I'm just not comfortable doing what I have to do on the center stand and I can't get the forks off to reubild them on the kick stand. Also that explains why the gas cap looks different than what I was finding for the standard.Daily Driver - '04 Suzuki Marauder 1600

So I got my fuse box ordered and I got my key set for everything but my tank. Will an xs650 flip cap from Mikes Xs fit my special tank or if I decide to go back to a standard tank? like this http://www.mikesxs.net/products-34.html#20-0650?
