Is there a source for a replacement reservior for the E front m/c. Or rear for that matter. Both mine are rotten. They cleaned up ok but the plastic is rotten and flaking

Unfortunately, no. You can't even use a later style as they're different. You can swap complete M/Cs though....

I did mine as you would a modern plastic headlight lens. I did it as in Steve's link, but I went to maybe 2000 grit to finish. I followed with a clear coat. I used the stuff in a headlight kit because I had it. It doesn't look as new, but the result is very good. It is certainly no longer yellow and chalky.Marty (in Mississippi)

U can always swap the MC from one off another XS, such as a 750. I'd go with one from an XJ if I were you. They are nicer looking. I'm tired of that old look. Mine is looking pretty rough too. Fortunately I have an extra that is in much better shape that I'll throw on in the winter when the bike is down due to snow.1979 XS1100F

So the XJ750 M/C will work on a '79SF? I need to replace mine on this rebuild, it is completely shot. Any particular year or will anyone do just fine?79 SF "Under Construction and in a million pieces"Comment

Check bore size of the one you want to use. The stock XS11 bore is 11/16", some have gone to a smaller bore but you need to install braided stainless lines if you go that route. A 5/8" bore is acceptable, smaller can be iffy....Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two

I am installing a complete m/c off of a Yamaha Raptor 660. It's what another member did with good results. It looks pretty good, too. More of a modern looking one. It's a few posts below this one...1980 Yamaha XS-Eleven Special

like Steve says, bore size is a key, make sure it's from a dual disk front set-up... I got one from a Blaster, all aluminum....I will use it after mine will stop working
