My miles on the tba are almost all long highway trips. The most useful additions are: corbin seat & backrest, bar risers, memphis fats & lowers, and footboards. All essential and effective in my opinion. I have saddlebags and tailbag but they're nothing special. I don't have heated clothes, an extended tank, or a scottoiler but I feel the need.
I love the look and feel of the bike but I am seriously considering trading it for a bmw r1200rt to get better wind protection, hard bags, shaft drive, longer range etc. I recognize that I may end up changing seat and screen but I think I'm starting closer to where I want to get to.
Just my experience.
[edited to add the bar risers to the essential mods]
