Unfired Destroyer Storage
Pat (aka Patm) and I were talking the other day and I asked him a question that some of you guys have experience with:
In your experience, how would you "seal/ block off" the injector stacks and exhaust to prevent "little critters" getting in there and other places and making a home??
Pat suggested the idea of small soft exercise hand balls.
I was thinking painters tape and plastic food storage wrap.
Any other experiences ???
Thanks very much!!

You guys are tough!! That would solve the injector stack issue to get more power but the alcohol would make the motor run too lean.........

Poke tiny liitle holes in the cans. If pests get in there they'll get loaded and leave the bike alone.

If I was saving an unfired one long term. I'd bag the whole bike.

DON'T USE FOAM BALLS or anything else rodents like to use for nesting. If you're gonna use foam balls, you might as well use dog food.
