My 1st XS1100 had a nice handelbar brace (it caught on fire and burned up at a shop in Texas before I ever got to ride it) Does anyone know where you can get one of these, are the OEM for 80 XS's?

The handlebar CLAMP is either from an XJ1100, or someone just glued an emblem onto this available from Mikexs.net

That's not OEM; that's an aftermarket chrome clamp that somebody stuck an '1100' emblem from a MNS airbox on.
MikesXS has the chrome clamps I believe....Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

I've had one for a few years now, after about 1 year the chrome started to pit. It doesn't look too bad but it did pit very quickly, YMMV2H7 (79) owned since '89
3H3 owned since '06
