Well I'm a signficantly smaller guy, only 5'10" and 155, but I can't complain about my 07 America. Shortly after I got it, some buddies and I took a long weekend from San Diego to Tombstone, AZ in the middle of July. That's just under 500 miles one way. The only extra weight was my backpack strapped to the rider's seat and I had a Camelpak on. Needless to say, it was Hot and not a single cooling issue. Dang that was a fun time!

2005 America, green/gray, gutted stock pipes, tall sissy bar w/ luggage rack, Saddleman's dual touring seat and Tourmaster saddlebags (and sissybar bag).
