Did you say you are going to shut off the headlight and front market lights so you can get extra wattage and stay warm? IMO that's not such a good idea, you are sacrificing visibility for comfort, which may backfire like you can't imagine. And it's also illegal in most if not all locales. Maybe I'm reading you wrong, but I wouldn't do that. The bike is what it is, you have to adapt to it, not the other way around. If you can run everything, including the headlight and marker lights, and your gear on the low setting, then you have to live with that and be satisfied. Get a better jacket or put on a windbreaker suit and/or insulated riding pants.
