Interesting. I've heard of putting a heater bar (Golden Rod) in gun safes, but never the same concept/principal under a motorcycle.

I too, store my bikes in Amish sheds out back. Unheated and non-insulated though. They have seemed to do just fine with only a Battery Tender attached, and a healthy dose of SeaFoam in a full tank. No rust.
