Long story short.

Searched forever, found some XS11 saddle bag mounts, bought them, bead blasted them, re-welded a crack, painted them, and went to mount them on my XS and I found I bought the wrong ones!

I bought for a 79 XS1100 Standard, I have a 79 XS1100 Special, and yes the brackets are different. The standard by what I have read have a shorter mount bar to the rear foot pegs. Yes, I can cut, and re-weld, however I would rather get the proper set and let somebody with the proper bike have these.

So, I am looking for a set for my 1979 XS1100 Special. If anybody has any leads let me know. I will also sell my standards if anybody needs them.

I have a multiple sets of extra bags too! haha, I bought one as a set. I want to find a set for my special before I off these. Or who knows, I may off them. I really don't want to cut these, because they are original, and who knows how off I will be from an original XS Special set.
 
Do you still have the mounts? If so how much for them?
From the picture it looks like they're just for the bags. Is that correct?

Thanks
 
Thanks for that link Rickrod. I am going to give that fellow a call and see if he will sell me just the brackets. Do you need my set of saddlebag mounts for the 79 Standard? Do you also need a fairing mount? I have an extra for the 79 XS Standard as well.

I was interested in the saddle bag mounts and could use another fairing bracket. How much for them shipped to 07436?
 
I am still look for these for my Special. Keep your eyes pealed. I would even buy a set just for the brackets. If reasonable that is. :cigar:
