I posted in the Classifieds, but I figured more people would see this on here. I need to get one of the rubber x's from the city x air box for my 12Ss. I'm currently commuting every day and it's starting to scratch up my airbox cover pretty badly. If anyone has one please let me know.

I asked about making the "X" available from the factory. They said they use a
pretty aggressive glue to attach the X and a jig to press and hold it in place.
they didn't think that most people have the facilities to do it right. I also
asked why they weren't available in other colors. Abe said he'd look into it.

Great people at the factory.

With the demand here, I've also been wondering why they haven't been avail. from Buell... and I've got a WTB in the CLASSIFIEDS as well!
They seem to come avail. in waves, and we're in the trough right now...

I have an "X", just trying to decide on an adhesive.

Any ideas?

Try paste. Not only sticks ok but it tastes great!


Ok that aside try McMaster-Carr. They have some thin two sided clear adhesive that looks like the stuff used on the frame pucks.

You may want to make an exo-skeleton to tape to the top of the rubber X before trying to apply it though. That adhesive does not give you two tries.

I want an extra myself. I have a plan for a new look and plan a resign of the X.
