Can you remove the "X" without damaging the airbox on the translucent XB airbox covers? Thanks!

yep, takes some persuasion and cleaning after wards, but it will come off.

oh and when you get it off there you can send it to me if your just going to throw it in the corner or something. : )

Whatever you do, DO NOT use windex or any amonia based cleaner to clean your translucid... it will end up clouding it up... WD-40 or pledge furniture polish work great on the clear plastics.

When I removed a rubber X from a translucent blue airbox with the screen, it left a hard black super-glue like mess that I could only remove by sanding. I had to use fishing line like a saw to get it off.

Not sure what to do. I do not want to have to sand, even with 2000 grit. The Buell letters are a piece of cake with a hairdryer, but black epoxy under the X. Time will tell what I do. Thanks for the in put all!!!!
