a serious question

[booger]

Why is the sound attenuating mat normally velcroed to the underside of the fuel tank so expensive to replace? Mice got to mine over the winter. Looked up the price of the replacement. Mind = blown.

Maybe a lot of people remove theirs for mo intake noise. I like to keep it real. This time however, I ain't payin' the price. McMaster-Carr must have something that will work.
