Considering the dark side? Becoming a Stromer?

"with high beams on and under average conditions, there's at least 10A/120W of capacity left over from the DL650's 380W alternator."

Seriously though, you should look into hand guards for your FZ. I left home this morning on my Strom and it was -5ºC (23ºF). I rode for 1-1/2 hours before my first stop. I don't have grip heaters (yet) and my hands were still warm just using decent gloves. The hand guards really keep the wind off and would probably mean your grip heaters would be enough to keep you comfortable.
