Who doesn't want to take there sporty cruising for longer distances? I have a windshield,saddle bags, and cruise controls. I know I have a long way to go, but there has to be some folks out there that are cruising on their sportys and can share some information.
I have NO soreness, stiffness or discomfort of any kind now. The bike is set up dead on for comfort on long rides.
Progressive 413 (15")
DayLong saddle (good for 1,000 miles / day)
HardStreet saddlebags
TourTank mounted to HD solo travel pack mount
HD detachable WS
PIAA fork mounted driving lights
TrailTech HID lights
Garmin 2610 GPS

To those of you who don't know what I am talking about, Teacher posted a BS pipe thread. After over 60 responses to his BS, this is his comment about wasting everybody's time.
" What wonderful thing a forum is. My intention in asking this question was not to increase my ability in getting others' attention, but rather to impress myself. A thanks to all those who offered suggestions and to those who frowned and complained, thanks for the entertainment. "
To me he is a classic troll !

In my own case I have a small windshield and cheapo soft bags on my bike and that's been good for a trip to the store for a quart of milk or a trip to the library, or a trip across country. I plan to set up my Sporty the same, a big higher quality bags though I think. Only difference is long-distance the bike will sport a bedroll.

Not much for me to add except that I find most bags to be of limited value. If you are a serious rider then you will want to take long rides and use your bike for work trips and shopping. I mount a large zip duffel on the rear Harley rack and use a fiber/plywood base with wingnuts. It goes on/off in a minute, folds down to nothing when empty, and holds all you want to carry.
