I think you will get 10X more YES answers in the Touring section than you would have in any other section.
Most of these guys buy the touring bikes to do just that, tour. Thats how they were set up, so they leave them that way.
Me personally, my R.G. is going to see minimum changes. Windshield, exhaust, seat, highway pegs, HG floorboard extensions, and probably not much more....
However my Dyna i saw as a blank canvas....For me to make it whatever i wanted. THOSE bikes are meant to customize. Touring bikes are more meant for the long haul and come that way.. There are exceptions. And that isnt a bad thing.....

Was thinking along lines of this post just this weekend. Thought about a poll on it - you know 1. stock, 2 partial stage 1, 3. stage 1, 4. Stage 2, etc.
My 06 UG could be stock in a heartbeat - just the air filter and the programmer. Really was OK with it stock, but wanted to make it run better (cooler), not faster.
Well my 82 FLT - taking it back to stock would be more challenging.

Mine is bone stock as can be.....
BUT....I bought a Street Glide towards the end of October in Chicago, where it usually snows by Thanksgiving. It has been in the 30s and 40s here, so I only have about 100 miles on her and I don't see much more saddle time in the future....the weekend is supposed in the 60s, then a drop off after that.
I'm gonna ride it as much as I can in the early spring so I can put new exhaust and a tune on it. Then I want the Agitator wheels.....then......who knows.
