        Make and model- specific, maybe. Not year though. They're all the same for all the XS/XJ1100's. The smaller models fit too, I believe, but don't quote me on that. There are 2 sizes to the set, so make sure you get the right ones.

        In a pinch, you could always use a regular pipe clamp.

          I think Bug was suggesting the airbox side clamps are a different size than the intake manifold side. And that is true.

          As he stated, all of the intakes on any XS1100 engine (or XJ1100) are the same and the clamps are likewise the same.
          Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

          When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

              That's why I said "in a pinch". I know, 'cause I've done it.

                I threw away all of my stock and replaced them with worm-gear clamps (hose-type) clamps.

                    I used two #7 hose clamps in series (daisy chained) per carb. They are just as narrow as the original, cheaper, and available locally. The napa part number is BK 705 1171. Just be sure to locate them carefully so that the inboard clamp head doesn't interfere with the throttle linkage.
