[Ducati] 916/996/998 underseat heat

[Joe M Ribaudo]

Hi Tony,
Welcome.   I've never seen this item...but for the price...if it works,
then let us know.  I've had carbon fiber cans on my 996 for at least a few
years...so I don't remember the toaster oven effect as much.
Do you have aftermarket exhausts on your 996 yet?  If not....some slip-ons
(either Carbon Fiber or Titanium) should help...and should be able to find
some inexpensive ones  (given the age of the 996/998).
Regards,
Joe

Hi there,
New to the list, and new Duc 996 owner here.  Former racer in the
NorthEast, living in Bethlehem PA now...blah blah blah.
Rode her home 100 miles last night, and my bum is still burning.
What's the secret to alleviating that?  I've ridden a few Japanese
bikes with undertail exhausts, but never had the same amount of heat
that the 996 is throwing.
Do you all just install this?  Seems reasonable to me:

Any help/advice is appreciated...I checked the archives, but they're
almost impossible to search with the way they're archived.
