Anyone do anything custom to Badman's yet?

They were a flop. You don't put a new coat of paint on a sinking ship.

Didn't mean Oakley making new ones. All the lens companies are making lenses. One might work on other accessories. Very comfortable glasses. I know, not a "real" X Metal but I like em.

Linegear would be your only hope.

Nothing from them yet. Thanks for mentioning.

Yeah they only recently started doing lenses for them. I doubt they will make rubbers, I just meant that if anyone would, it would be them.

@linegear rubbers on a badman... Would be nice if they can make custom nosepads cus I hated those oem ones glued onto the frame

Linegear would be wise to jump on rubber kits for the BM/MM before someone else (Walleva ) does.
They seem best able to respond/supply for the premium market.
And, I think they sponsor a forum somewhere...

Sinking ship, discontinued, overpriced, and on the other thread with design flaw (i.e. hinge scratch, aesthetics). Makes me wonder if anybody has a objective data on how it sold, volume or profit wise? Then the next question is how well those numbers did compared to Oakley's expectation/target? For me those will be a good factor to stop making products...well company's lack of interest is a factor too.

I believe if Linegear made rubber parts for any of the Xmetals; Omatter and Wires they would have a decent customer base from us.

I traded into a Xmetal with Welleva rubbers....

It wouldn't matter if they get to making MM/BM rubbers before @Linegear Japan

The quality is not even in the same class. If I need aftermarket rubber, it has to be LineGear.

But, I agree. More rubber parts from Linegear NOW is better than Later

I hope @Linegear Japan do step up its game further and cover all X-Metal models, they are ahead and doing a good job quality and price. And @Walleva should start taking the X-Metal replacement rubber more seriously and step up its own game.

Thank you all.

@Xs and Os : As usual LINEGEAR focus on X-metal and we differentiate to Oakley's by custom color and cute concept, refine lenses cutting and 100% customer satisfaction. And we started lenses for the new X-metal Badman & Madman. Visit this link for Badman lenses: BADMAN - LINEGEAR (Page 1)

This is to confirm that in addition to our secret op., which is known quite publicly, of making R2 earsock, those of Badman's & Madman's are on the way too. Starting with four popular colors: Black, Red, Blue & White. Availability? We need some time to find the right mix of ingredient/color. But we will post update on our thread "Hello from Linegear, X-Metal Professional ".

@OakleyGuru379 : Our answer above may help reply your question.
