What have y'all used in the past to tack these things on? One got a little loose so I pulled it off before I lost it. The ones on the air box cover, not the 1125 stickers.

You could try clear silicone. Spread it lightly, get it in place, and let it dry.

If you don't like it, you can just peel it off.

I was afraid the heat might melt silicone. I really wish I knew what they used from the factory.

I'd give 3M trim adhesive a shot. Clean both surfaces. Spray generously on the back of the badge. Allow to get tacky. Put in place - the RIGHT place, because it's gonna stay there.

I actually figured out something really cool for removing the old glue. Goo-gone (we all knew that) but while the goo-gone is still wet, apply polishing compound and buff out. Took one try and there is no residue or paint damage. I may try trim adhesive. You can still faintly make out the "Buell" outline. Shouldn't be hard to line up in the right light.
