Go for it. @ $200ish I'd by one.

I'm late to this thread, but I'd be VERY interrested. My shield has not been working for over a year now.
By the way, you should contact "STony G" he has done some work on the rails and discovered a probable cause of the premature life span of the mechanism. It turns out that the tracks have a bump (for a lack of better term) that hinders the movement, thus causing undo stress. He has found that a tiny bit of grinding in the right spot frees up movement on the guides. I'm sure if you drop him a line, he would be much better at describing the situation to you. He might have pictures as well, but if memory serves the only way to really get the point is to feel the movement of the stock guide and the modified one Tony has.
Either way, please put me on the notify list if you come up with something.

Well add me to the list of broken shield drive units. Stripped gear in mine..
It is the main thing I like about the bike so I will probably buckle down and buy a new requlator.
I think there is enough interest in this redesign to go forward with it so I will keep things updated as I make progress.
