I'm planning a long road trip north and will be doing about 5 - 7 hours a day. Also have a touring windshield for the ryde. To me, its best to have it and never need it vs. not having it and wishing you did. I've been cold all day once before and never want to go through that again.
I hear you about relying on electric alone for heat. Will pack layers, just not as much as I would without heated gear.
I couldn't imagine you doing a trip like that without a touring shield. Good move! They come off easily enough so you can change back when you return! Have an excellent trip and bring back stories and pics for us!!
