With temps like that I am considering the 10-40. I only have 500 miles so far on my new limited and want to change the oil now. Then back to 20-50 at the 1k service and then Amsoil 20-50 the next change.

I run 15W-50 in the winter and I plug the bike in (it has an oil pan heater,) if it gets below 25 or so. (Hey at 147,000 miles and still no oil consumption, I gotta' be doin' something right!)

I got it from an outfit from TN advertised on EBay. They came in 125W, 250W etc. I got the 125W for $27 or so. I double insulated the wire (vibration abraids wires on high mileage bikes, trust me,) and routed the 110V plug out under the right saddlebag guard.
Had it on a timer when it was parked in a shed. Now I just throw a switch when I roll out of bed in the morning. In an hour or so, the oil is close to room temperature.
