Has anyone found a good substitute for the rubber fin blocks that seem to only sell at airport prices at the various parts outlets? Thanks

Not sure what bike you have but I've used these before...  I think I may have had to cut them apart and trim.  It's been a while.  hvccycle.net/yamaha-cylinder-head-fin-ab...ack-521-11161-01-00/

Or if you have a sample, try contacting Clauss Studios...  if they don't have them they might start making them as they fit some popular models.

hi,

i extruded a nice even bead of black polymer sealant from a tube onto a lightly greased surface, let it set and then cut it into the correct size pieces, worked real fine and cost zip.

cheers
les.
