Thanks for all of the info! Those are some really good tips and I am thinking I will order a Corbin seat, volt meter and some weather resistant electrical outlets next month.
I also agree an America is probably not the best bike for touring, but it has been a great bike to learn on and it does everything else so well!
Since it looks like most everyone uses soft luggage, how does everyone deal with security?
I have a tail bag now and when I stop to eat or if I need to go inside some where, I take everything that I am not willing to lose with me. That includes things like a helmet, gloves, jacket, glasses and what ever else I have. This is not so bad, but I have left sun glasses one place and a glove in another. Fortunately I couldn’t go without them and I had to just walk around the restaurant till I found them. My friend has Hepco and Becker bags on his Bonneville and just locks them in the cases and goes on, very nice.
Thanks, Dean
