I use a Zoan Privilege. Its carbon fiber and pretty light which is nice on long trips but fogs up a bit in cool weather. got it for $150.00 from craigs list,, brand new, but i think they are a round $30.00 from the store.
I rode from grand rapids mi to Somerset pa about 8hrs on a stock seat and I was happy to get off for some fuel. On the turnpike the stops were about 60mi apart so I had to stop for fuel quite often. For some reason my visa card stopped working and they said I used it to many times in a 24 hour...
Looking forward to the pics from your trip. The way the picture looks it doesn't look like you can put much weight in the trunk just by how it mounts on the corner of the bag and does it bounce much?
Todd's a good guy and we had a lot of fun last year at thunder on vmax mike's rogue ride. He's also a good room mate. Didn't hear him snore once. :biglaugh: Also that's his handy work in my avatar.
It's great to have options. The gen 1 is a cheaper and if you don't mind messing with carbs and things that go along with an older bike that may be a good route. The gen 2 is way more expensive but less messing around in my opinion. The gen 2 handling is great for a bike of that size so I heard...
