Tom,

BIKERPHIL has Mike's XS emulators on an XS11 Special. He claims they work. I see no reason to doubt him. I put the RaceTech emulators on mine. As one might expect, they fit perfectly atop the damper rods.

I suggest you contact Phil for the ins and outs of using the XS650 units. The XS650 is 100 lbs lighter than the XS11.

Yep, the MikesXS emulators work fine in the Special forks. The Standard forks have a slightly different damper rod which might not accommodate the emulators as well. You can read about it in this thread if you like. Page 5 of the thread Marty posted shows the difference of the damper rods.
