I ride my America as a touring bike, per say. I have made several trips from Northern CA to Central TX by way of CO and NM. 4500-5000 mile rides and turn between 450-800 miles a day. The miles per day depend a lot on weather, what I want to stop and look at and the roads I am traveling on that day. Interstates' are quick miles, but I don't enjoy the miles, back highways are slower, but much more enjoyable. I have a windshield, Corbin seat and backrest with some switch-blade foot pegs and some highway pegs. I stop about every 100-130 miles for fuel and drink break. I enjoy the long rides and am tired with some backside burn every day, but I am always ready to get started the next morning.
I don't know if this helps or not, but your seat is a BIG issue for longer rides and the windshield will take most of the wind stress off of you, but not all. I used a back rest for the first time this last summer, BIG difference at the end of the day and much more comfortable
