You are right I could probably design and build and install some type of device like this for probably < $20.00. Electronic stuff like this is easy to find in a junk electronic store or create your own, look at other things that warm, coffee cup holder would be a start? Probably not enough wattage but at least it's a start, hell you could get a high wattage bulb in a metal holder that clips to the side of the bike, those sob's get HOT!

Does the magnetic engine heater for the KLR work on the same principle as the magnetic tank bag for the IMS tank?> Less than $30 >

Judd, OH, You really know how to rain on a guy's parade. there you go again, [publicly] exercising all the rights and privileges of a superior post-graduate education and Masters degree in the obvious. smile. yeah. (I completely missed it-the magnetic application. cough.) Must be my Sho-me heritage.... Seriously, Might work by gluing the magnetic pad on with a product known as RTV used in aviation circles. Needless to say, the engine serface has got to be clean for this to work. Not much of a flat spot there, but that is not to say it won't work. shrug. Kevin, Or you could use a 100w bulb in a bell-shaped shade close to the engine case. I set mine up that way in the winter and just leave it on if there is ANY chance (=10% or better) that you might get out for a ride. I suggest that you get a rough-service bulb to minimize burnt out bulbs. revmaaatin.> tank bag for the IMS tank? >
(Had to say it!)
(3) Place a floodlamp close and under the bike. It's a cheap trick up
here in the NE to keep fuel oil from gelling.
