Found the below in MIKEXS site. Part Number : 2F0-23110-00.

They will be too long, they are for an EX650, due to the additional weight of the XS I believe they are also thicker-walled.  You can get Daytona tubes on E-bay for a reasonable price, there are several different supplier options on E-bay, Chinese and also Italian.  I ordered a set from E-bay they were fine (can't remember what vendor, I can try and check).

Check www.fastfromthepast.com, I think Jim sells a high-quality Italian tube (He is VERY picky about the quality of parts he represents, he does a lot of checking and testing of anything he carries) he also carries quite a few RD/RZ  parts including ignitions.  He is a source to be trusted!!!

Also Forks By Frank, they are a US source but comes at an additional cost.
