Hi Swamper...
Have you talked with Capn Quack ... just up the road from you....
A new rubbing block on an '06 Tiger???
My '98 went 44,000 miles before I changed its rubbing block.
FYI: Put Baxter Cycle in your 'I need parts' book!!
www.baxtercycle.com ... don't e-mail..
CALL THEM.
They have stuff 'on-hand' and often 'salvage' parts.
