i just received frame plugs from ebay for my bike, they push in but pop back out, is there anything that i am missing here on how to keep them in... thanks guys | ||

Ive got a billet set from ebay that wont push in....the claim was that with the lack of exact tolerances from Buell that they had to make them a size that would fit all bikes so they are tight on some and loose on others. their recommendation was to buy thinner or thicker o-rings.. | ||

i bought mine from Lowes. very inexpensive, very effective. they have been installed for years. fit like a glove. give it a try. Matt | ||

well if they are the same as the ones i bought from american torque all i had to do was bend a few of the arms out like 4 or so in a cross patter if you bend too many outwards it doesnt work. They stayed in for the remainder of last years riding season. (put in august.) | ||

I purchased the eBay billet type. Ended up using a smaller o-ring size out of a Harbor Freight o-ring kit. A little white lithe and they popped right it. | ||

I have the ones from amerkcan torque and they pop out as soon as I let go of them,i bemt the tines in a little but I do not want to bend them to much then they will just fall out | ||

still having the fitment problem, so i am thinking of maybe putting some clear silicone in and hoping that works, maybe any thoughts an that | ||

Did you try a smaller/thinner o-ring? | ||
| 01x1buell |
these ones never came with an o ring, i found some and tried them but no luck as of yet, i guess i should try to find some smaller and bigger. | ||

Just resent it... Anyway all I said was to pm me with your mailing address and I will drop a couple of the o-rings that I used with the same plugs in the mail. Hopefully they will work on your X1 like they worked on my S1.. | ||

No, prob, I got your PM and went to email you back. Then I realized we are talking about two different plugs. I chucked the American Torque plugs I bought in the trash and purchased a set of these.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Buell-Aluminum-Frame-Plugs-Fits-Tubed-framed-Buells-M2-S1-X1-/221205861086?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3380e592de&vxp=mtr They worked great, but I had to use smaller o-rings...and that is what I was talking about! Here is picture on my bike..  As Peter Griffin once said "I'm so stupid..." Sorry about the confusion. | ||
