81's are different.Skids (Sid Hansen)
Down to one 1978 E. Stock air box with K&N filter, 81H pipes and carbs, 8500 feet elevation. -
The '78-80 are the same and will be marked 2H7 in the first three digits of the part number. The '81 looks the same, but is different internally and will have a 4R0 part number.Fast, Cheap, Reliable... Pick any two
'78E original owner - resto project
'78E ???? owner - Modder project FJ forks, 4-piston calipers F/R, 160/80-16 rear tire

Best bet is to do your homework with a little research as you have done.

Sometimes it takes a whole tank of gas before you can think straight.

I have actually informed an ebay seller that he had a tci mislabeled. His response was "my boss put the tag on the ignition unit and has been doing this for a long time and knows what he is taking about." Dumb @$$1979 XS1100 SF

Most of them just decide to break bikes for money, post an add they take junk bikes, and go pick them up, and advertising the parts. Only a few of them have a clue what they are selling.
So yes, you have to be smart to know what you need. Smarter than the sellers are, unfortunately. I often let them know they have no clue and they tell me "that is whats on the title" or I get no response at all.
Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Ebay has now put all XS's of all cc's in the same catagory so you have to read the description and look at the pics closely so you don't end up with XS400 parts mistakenly.
Don't ask me how that could happen.
