Is this a scam?  I see it is AMA approved, is that the American Medical Association?  Did you order one Hans, let us know how it works out for you if you did.

  It is amazing how many people believe this to be a real part. At least three times in my career I had someone come in and ask me to install a new one, as their's didn't seem to be working anymore. An explanation, even in it's simplest form seemed only to further confuse them, especially 2 stroke riders. Much like snowmobiles as soon as they made them idiot proof--idiots started to buy them. In droves. Rubber in the picture however would work awesome in some of my rubber band powered airplanes-not that I get much chance to fly them. CHEERS.

This brings to mind the lady who brought her car into the dealership where I was working and asked to have a new "vacuum" installed.  Apparently, someone had told her that her engine vacuum was low/poor so she wanted a new one.

A new vacuum makes the most sense if you don't know cars.  Other things to keep an eye on is the blinker fluid and muffler bearings.....

Mike,
I see you favour the superior quality roller-type muffler bearing. Virtually trouble free compared to the standard ball-type.
In newer vehicles, blinker fluid is now monitored by the onboard computer so is not a big concern.
