A Widder heated vest and gloves are the best - or nearly the best - investment I've made. VERY comfortable, they take up very little packing space, and they seem to be pretty easy on the electrical system. Yes, I'm in Arizona, but I have ridden in the norther part of the state at -5C and been toasty warm. I like the flexibility of being able to simply turn up the heat instead of stopping and changing jackets, liners, gloves, etc. I got them on eBay - new - for lots less than the retail price.
My Tourances have treated me well on dirt. In the Yukon, unless you are travelling in winter, remember the mud. Not just mud, but MUD! From my days on the unpaved Alcan, the best hint I can give you is to put patches of duct tape over all your locks (don't forget the seat lock!). A mud-filled lock can be a real pain!
