CTC = Critical To Comfort
a. Seat - best fitted, best suited (i've had Mustangs and continue to patronize)
b. Highway Pegs - i have the adjustable shorts but it gives me several options for leg/foot positions
c. Floorboard extenders - i installed the Kuryakyn floorboard extenders that brings them outward about 3/4", it may not seem much but at least my legs are not hugging the tank and air cleaner, again, gives me better options for leg/foot positions
d. i don't have a backrest...maybe i'll get on later
e. with this set up, i have a relaxed riding posture
i just did a 650 mile ride from CT to VA last Wed afternoon to attend my daughter's graduation...i only stopped from tank fill up to the next, approx 200 miles, approx 3.5 hours on the saddle...caught in traffic in PA I-476 for like an hour or so of stop and go...needless to say...with proper fit and aware of what CTC is...all is well.
good luck fitting the bike to you...
