Upgrades
OK,
As I look at all the different suggested upgrades, I am wondering (as a relative new XS owner) as to where you can get the upgraded fuse box, fork brace, braided brake lines, and "other" handle bars for the Specials???

The simple solution to the braided steel brake lines is to assemble them yourself. I sourced mine from Z1 Enterprises.
Hose #1 20-1/2” - Front M/C
Hose #2 22-3/4” - Caliper
Hose #3 22-3/4” -Caliper
Hose #4 19” -Rear

Where do you get an auto cam chain tensioner? My engine is a 79, and I have the cam chain tensioner off right now because I have to replace the gasket because the old one was leaking something fierce.Hydra'82 XJ1100 Frankenbike with a '79 engine
