Oh yeah! Back in the day while rebuilding the engine in my '66 Fairlane mice made a HUGE nest in the muffler. I couldn't believe how quiet the engine was until I mashed the pedal down and blew out a mass of the old school carpet padding with a few inhabitants!

I also use dryer sheets, I put one on each side of the fork fairing openings, 2 under the battery/rear transmission area and one stuffed up the muffler. They seem to work.
