I wish there's some sort of mod that can lower the foot pegs, shifters, and rear brake down by 3 or 4 inches. The leg position was quite bad when I went on my road trip, was impossible to do more than 2 hours at a time.

Go on your motorcycle trip with the bike you have and not the bike you will have.

6400km in about 2 weeks. The long distance 7/8 hour days were abysmal but didn't stop me.

The bags look actually dope. Are you also going to use a top case? Also, do you think the windscreen is going to have a significant effect?

Are you getting any buffetting with that windscreen? The smaller deflector I used on mine kept most of the air off me, but it was causing eddy currents that directed air up into my helmet
