Detachable windshield is a must imo. The ability to move your feet around. Highway pegs.

Great post!

You're right! No matter how much time you can set aside for a trip, there are just so many great roads to ride in NA.

If you don't have one, get a quick detach windshield. It makes a big difference on a long trip.

Wife and I have had the crotch cooler on our bikes for several years, and several 2 week trips. The have been one of the best additions to our bikes we have made, both are stage 1, and you can see it in my sig pic.

We also run Mustang seats with backrests, not sure how it will look on you bike, but looks right on our bikes. I have done a SS 1000 with this seat and felt fine after the ride was over.

Sounds like a fun ride.

I would suggest you also add "fangs" for your trip. Harley has them for about $100.
