I did 4800 miles in ten days on my 02 wide glide and did just fine. Comfy is what counts in my book, and my mustang vintage wide seat gave me that, along with fwd and mid pegs to change up my foot positioning

Yeah the only way to avoid it is having small bags. It's not a big deal to do and doesn't cost much. About $20-$25 if I remember correctly. It just moved it a couple inches back. Remove 2 screws, place the bracket. Install 4 screws.

Of course you can. I do all the time. I think you're preaching to the choir on the Dyna forum here. I've seen plenty of people on the general chat section disagree with us all, and say you NEED that bagger to tour. Some say you need to trailer to go to a rally like Sturgis, so you can enjoy yourself when you get there, or as one poster said "so I can walk once I get there." Whatever.
This year my Dyna had an electrical box fry the day before I left for Sturgis. I rode my wifes Sportster up there instead. No big deal. Both her new Sportster and my Dyna are like Cadillacs compared to what I rode for years.

I also had a custom windshield made by Rifle. Much better than OEM quick release touring windshield.
It fits the harley hardware and quick brackets. I am still able to easily see over the top, but very little wind from the sides.
I also used a Harley inflatable seat pad. No numb ***.
I was planning to remove the 13 inch sisy bar and larger windshield after the trip, but liked them so much that I have not switched back. I even sold my oem windshield on ebay. Got my asking price.
If anyone is interested, contact me and I can give more details.
With all said, I still feel the Road King is a much better cruiser, but not nearly as much fun. For the two or three trips a year I find my Street Bob much better for an all around bike. I use it most every day around town and to go to golf course or even causual shopping.
