It couldn't hurt. Whilst riding leave an inch or so before full down on the shield. It helps with the air circulation. Also don't ride with shorts or flip-flops. Wack the ignition switch every once in awhile to show it who's boss. And for goodness sake, don't wash it.......................ever.
Send an email to Zteve through the forum and ask if he has any left. He was selling them on ebay at one point.
