I have heated grips on both my bikes. Well worth the money if you're going to ride in the cold air. HD now also sells rechargable battery operated heated gloves.

Tourmaster "Polar Tex" gloves will keep you toasty warm down to at least 30 degrees at 70 mph. Of course heated gloves would be best but if you don't have that then try the Tourmasters - they're about $50 and are windproof/waterproof with Thinsulate lining.
