I have my rocker set up just the way I like it as far as comfort. It's the same way I hike...minimalist...take just what you need to get and forget all that nice to have stuff.
Besides being comfortable, I have a very nice and efficient leatherworks side bag which expands up for more travel gear. Long distance, 2-4 k miles, etc., I add a nice leather bag on top of my headlight handlebars and if needed a tool bag on the forks...

That's it, keeping it simple makes it more fun and relaxing...my entertainment console is spread out before me on the road, scenery and beauty out in the country side...

Not an age thing thing for me ever...LOL, my wonderful wife who would never ride too scared, continues to ask me after forty years, when I'm going to grow up...Not ever!...LOL.
Ride safe.
Yup. I always got bored riding a touring bike. It just didn't have the "fun factor". No wonder those guys need an infotainment system to make up for what they're missing.
Why even bother with a bike? Might as well just drive their car with the windows down.

I tried that with my 98 Silverado. Too much buffeting. I'm going to add those air
deflectors and see if it helps. I'll post results
