I just got a set of the carbon fiber frame covers, and I was wondering if any one out there has put them on their XB, wondering what way would be best, silicon or velcro. Appreciate any help, want them on intime for the trip to Laguna Seca.

silicone sealant is the best option and what we recommend to customers for fixing ours on. This always gives the option of removing them if they get damaged. Double sided tape or velcro is good short term but the heat thru the frame tends to make them 'unstick'.

Yeah, double sided tape works great and is really easy. Make sure you use the heavy duty stuff. You'll have to pry them off very carefully if you want to remove them.
