    I have an XS750SF grab grab bar and I have an XS11SF.

    I took a look. The rear mounting hole on the XS750SF grab bar mounts to a hole rearward of the turn signal.

    When I hold it next to the XS11SF, the rear mounting hole lands on top of the turn signal. It might be possible to mount it under the turn signal stalks. I can't judge the width accurately.

    The big issue is the rear of the grab bar might not clear the rear of the seat. It's so close you'd have to try it. Even if it fit, it might look funny.

    Not sure if/how this related to XS11G.

    Creative thinking, Lover.

      The rear of the frame is different between the SF and the F/G. I would worry about how wide the bar is, as I think the frame is about 10mm wider on the 1100....

          What happens to all of those grab bars? Were they tossed out when “king/queen” seats replaced stock ones?

                Decent price.....listing is incorrect for type shown, or vice versa.
