    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Heated Seat

Haven't seen that particular one, but I've heard some good things about the concept.

Aerostich sells the Bun Warmer for $87:

Usually the rear end is the absolute last part of the body to get cold, but it's one way to keep the core temperatures up a bit, and it's attached to the bike so it's always available with no fussing, like heated grips.

But from what I've read, a heated vest is far more effective at keeping core temps up and uses about the same amount of power. The disadvantage, of course, is that you have to plug yourself in and somehow deal with the cords.
 
One option would be to use a heated seat insert from an automobile seat. Should be cheap and easy to find at a junk yard. They are usually inserted into the seat between the cover and the foam. Not sure how many amps they would draw but that shouldn't be hard to figure/find out. You could wire it into the bikes electrical system and control it with a switch.
