In my opinion you're already on a touring bike. Calculate how much you'll take it in the pants by selling or trading, then put that towards bad azz mods and things to make you're fatboy a touring bike. You'll have an awesome bike just the way you want it for thousands less.

There's plenty of luggage and other long haul accessories out there.

You will NEVER make a softail a touring bike...You can make them better at touring but when it comes to actual touring, the touring bike wins...Cruise, stereo, non balanced motor...
