Additional electrical load may complicate your charging situation with the tiny motorcycle alternator, especially if EOCing.

I managed many winters with a down coat and decent gloves. Full face helmet and thick dry boots, and a couple layers of pants. The control feel will sort itself out eventually (that is to say, there is none but that shouldn't stop you from figuring out how to control the bike reliably).

re: cold, once the bare parts are covered well, it is mostly attitude. Pretend you are skiing and you may enjoy it a lot more (same goes for sliding around in your car), unless you have had some major wrecks as a skier that is, in which case maybe pretend that you are doing some other exhilarating, but less terrifying cold weather activity.
