[Ducati] 916/996/998 underseat heat

[Tony Pagliaroli]

Thanks Joe...that's helpful as it sounds like it's in line with what
my bike is running.  Will have to see what happens over time.  I also
did place the order for the TPO fabric as I don't believe it can hurt
in this area at all.

I really just don't want to regret getting the 996 over the 851 I've
been eying for the past 5 years.  ;-)
