I rode it to Sturgis and back a few years ago; 500 miles each way. That was about the limit, and the only thing that made it tolerable was the 200 mile max range of the bike. I definitely had to stretch at each gas stop. But it looks great, and is on the bike 90% of the time. Any ride under 300 miles is no problem. Your suspension setup may be softer or harder than mine, and your weight and riding style may make a lot of difference too.

I had one on my Street Bob and have one now on my Superglide, both with 11" Progressives. I generally don't ride 200 miles without stopping to stretch whether I am in a car or on my bike. To me, the feel isn't the issue. The narrowness sometimes makes the battery box dig into my leg. Hopefully, when I put on the floorboards, that won't be an issue because it will change the angle of my dangle.

It's a great bar hopper seat. I run i most of the time, but I also had to buy a C&C Sport Touring for real riding.
