RE: Chrome frame inserts
Had same problem strangley enough both mine fell off on to garage floor . Had a bitch of a time cleaning the black stickyback tape off them . but I did and also take the stupid black inserts out that are in the frame clean everthing up with alchol again and glued them on with some good clear silicone . Now I think you would damage them if you tried to pry them off. Part looks good But it took a real wizard to dream up the double sided tape idea!!

RE: Chrome frame inserts
mine have been on since X-Mas, rubbed clean with alcohol, then drank the rest -still tight. I'll keep an eye on them now, since some of you have been having problems

Got a set of those of my `05 Standard. I cleaned the frame with brake parts cleaner. Got about 300 miles on since then and there still there. Gonna check and make sure that there not falling off though.

The insert on the left side of my bike came off. I just stuck it back on and it hasn't fell off again yet. I am about to leave for a six hour trek into Central/South Texas so I'll see it is still there when I get to my destination.

RE: Chrome frame inserts
When I bought mines, the dealer told me that i'd probably buy another set, so I purchased the Kuryakyn boomerangs... They look better and I don't have to worry about them falling off!
