My super-duper H-G gloves are ok for an hour, but that's it. Summer gloves with maybe a liner (just use thin cotton) heavily modified muffs to stop wind collapse, and heated grips are what used to see me through my 240 mile commute.
Not tried heated gloves as I really don't need them anymore, but heard a lot of good things about them. Handguards are a bit of a waste of time for winter riding, they don't really do bugger-all.
Also a 365 rider. Totally agree with the pair of you on this when it comes to a Fazer i.e. muffs (Punkstigs recommended ones ONLY). Only disagree with the handguards bit, these plus heated grips and good gloves on the Tiger are ample.....for me.
As for gloves, I swore by the Spada Enforcers for warmth, 100% waterproof etc....until I broke my wrist when ice skating and decided that scaphoid protectors were for me so changed to the Racer Titan gloves....also good gloves.

Those are my principles...if you don't like them I have others.
