Has anyone purchased gauge rings from any of these vendors on eBay?
If so, how was the quality of the rings and was it a simple snap in fit as they indicate?

Can anyone provide some instruction on how to remove the battery from the X? I removed the spare tire and I can see the left side of the battery under a maze of black brackets.
