Re: Away for a Month... Storage Tips...

A one month sleep for the bike is nothing to worry about. I would take the battery out and store it in a warmer place and top it up with a battery tender upon your return. The addition of fluids in the fuel is good.
And as Jonathan suggested, have a friend do a drive by now and again. When you get back install the battery and you are almost ready to ride. Do a visual check, tire pressure check, light check and go riding.
Cold fingers always bothered me, even in cool summer riding. You have to block the wind somehow. The only thing I can see is a large windshield that is wide enough to divert the wind. It would also have to reach down low to block the wind from coming from below.
Heated grips will help but will not address the windchill factor that is always there.
