Touring
I've always owned baggers , but a friend of mine bought a 2001 Deuce brand new of the showroom floor and rode it all over Canada and parts of the US , he said the only thing holding you back is how much your willing to take with you . He bought a 18 Breakout couple years ago and he's put over 10k on it .
If it's got 2 wheels , It'll go anywhere you want it to .

My wife has followed me from Chicago to Montana and back twice now. I still carried some of her stuff on my bagger, because she insisted on luxuries like extra socks and underwear.

I put a Dyna touring seat on 2007 Wide Glide and rode 30 states in 30 days a few years back and man I still think about how comfy that was with some gear for a backrest, a windshield and no cruise no stereo no Navi no complications.
Buddy of mine has done Sturgis on a Dyna from Georgia and California several times. It can be done.
He has a Road King now.

A comfy seat and windshield will make a world of difference for those long days in the saddle. A suspension upgrade is nice too. Throw on some saddlebags and you're ready to tour.
But then again, people have done it with none of that stuff so its all about what YOU need to tour. I would set the bike up how you think you'll need it and do some long day trips before hitting the open road. Sort of try it out first and modify things as you need to.

Windshield, seat, highway pegs are the quick and easy way to make any bike more suitable for touring.
Saddle time with the bike prior to a long trip, being well rested, staying hydrated and not being in a rush to get anywhere make any rider more suitable for touring.
