-first do yourself a favor and buy some heated grips.....they're about $30 plus a new set of grips to install. I'm going to get a set put on once it gets colder.

-textile jacket because nothing sucks when you're being cold than getting wet as well. I have a olympia ast jacket which I bought in fredericksburg at the dealer. For the money $289 there isn't a better textile. It's a 3/4 jacket as well. Mine is in hi-visibility eye bleeding yellow

-textile pants because jeans leak air. Anything will work here

-neck gaiter thingso cold air isn't getting on your neck....like $10 bucks and acts like a scarf but doesn't look nearly as gay

-if your bike's electrics can handle it a heated jacket liner is $200ish

-glove liners are cheap if you don't want to buy insulated gloves...mine were $10ish

-hippo hands for snowbiles are like huge gloves that go over the handlebars and levers are also awesome

if you did all that you're comfortable in a faired bike down to the 0's or 10's. Just layering up helps but only to a certain point



feel your pain because it feels colder here at 35 degrees than it did in wisconsin at 20 degrees
