I’ve found the lowest temp range I can go with my R18 Classic is 20F. Below that and heated grips and battery powered gloves can’t overcome the onslaught of cold air. But, the OP’s Bagger has much more wind protection. 40F, I‘m still riding my S1000R & I’m fine without any heated gear other than hand grips.
I‘m of course assuming proper cold weather riding gear is used though. I use windproof base layers for my legs and a heated shirt and socks, plus battery heated gloves on the R18. I’m powering the shirt & socks thru the Powerlet port, so I’m limited to 5A, thus why only those two articles of clothing are heated.
On my GSA, I have a plug going to the battery, so I can use heated base layers shirt and pants, plus full gloves. The extra wind protection of the fairing/windshield and the hand guards means I’m good to much lower temps. Last year I rode in 3F weather on that bike.
