Nice weather prompted me to take my bike out of my yard shed this morning. I dug into a saddlebag and was greeted with an intense odor. It seems that a mouse or mice moved in over the winter (rent free). I never knew this before, but a chewed up and shredded helmet bag makes a great nest. Map, registration/insurance info, baseball cap, sunglass bag, tools, etc. all soaked with mouse urine and poop. Soaked.
After lots of time lost in cleanup... I did manage to pull the snorkle, drop in a K&N air filter, replaced fresh Mobil 1 Racing 4T, upgraded to Progressive fork springs. Yea!
Back to the bad. I rinsed (and rinsed) the inside of the saddlebag with water and dish soap. If I ruined it - I ruined it - as I wasn't in the best mood. After letting it air out for awhile, it still smells like a barn. Anybody been there? What did you use to clean it up? Thanks for any advice.
