I guess I can concur with that but the diiference b/t the clearbra and jamming a piece of plastic in the air intake is two totally diff things. Like I said, to each his own. I ain't doing it.

ok...so aside from ordering one from a website, is there another place i could try? like goto lowes and buy a bunch of caps and see which one fits? i'd much rather goto the store than hassle with online ordering and shipping for a 25 cent piece of plastic

Yep. I remember it but it was after my time on a bike. I rememebr jamming an empty coke can above the brake caliper so the edge hit he tire and that sounded pretty kool.

I will check how it fits and decide whether I want to try once I get the cap. I have PSE but want to see how the sound with this compares.
