I pulled out my ELF meter and wow was I suprised at the field at the electronics area of my sportster. So I tried copper tape and aluminum foil which had little result . Then I tried tin foil I have some tin believe it . Better for sure. Then a soft annealed thin steel , the same as tin. Then I tried a co-netic and netic alloy layer ( sorry if this get a little geeky) wow that was the ticket. So if you want to save your crotch from some of this magnetic field . Alternate a nickel alloy steel ( I will tell you where to find it) and a highly permeable soft thin steel ( thin steel with low carbon content) and place it over your electronics between you and your rear end. Alow air to cool your electronics . This combination works better than one material alone. For you Geeks one reflects the field and the other absorbs the field. This Prouduct can be applied with glue and I recomend a two faced tape and not allowing the two metals to touch each other. Isolating the metals works best. This actually compresses the field down like pushing on a balloon . The field is now stronger at your knees but less at your seat. Pay special attention to the coils ,plug wires and high voltage and less attention to standard DC wires . The Prouducts and you only need a couple square feet per bike, is available from a chicago company called Magnetic shield corporation. So have fun and ride. PS don't sit on your outside A/C units or you will get blasted there as well.
