HSATF Member Posts: 9 04/18/07 7:56 PM	Tags : exhaust, shadow, honda, backrest, seat, trunk, lowers, bars, trailer I just picked up a stock 99 ACE Tourer. I'm looking for the following things: 1) Driver's backrest 2) Trunk 3) Lowers 4) Highway bars 5) Trailer 6) Aftermarket exhaust (maybe) My plan is to take off this summer and travel 6,000 miles in 3 weeks. Any recommendations on how to make this as comfortable as possible? Thanks everyone!

Any recommendations on how to make this as comfortable as possible? Thanks everyone! For a trip like that and looking for comfort assistance, my opinions would be: 1. Corbin or Mustang seat with driver backrest. 2. Highway / crashbar with some pegs to stretch out some. 3. Vista Cruise preferably, or throttle rocker of some sort to help with fatigue in right hand. 4. A camera... ok, well... not a comfort issue, but we'd love to see pics!

HSATF 2nd Officer Posts: 442 04/18/07 9:13 PM Tail Gunner	Congrats on the bike. I am also making a long trip this summer. I have the mustang seat, but also an "Air Hawk" cushion. I recommend this or a gel cushion for long hours in the saddle. Sounds like you have some fun ahead of you...Bob <><

HSATF 1st Officer Posts: 1122 04/19/07 9:19 AM First Officer	OK, the most important things you'll need are (in order of importance) Vance & Hines Dual Bagger Exhaust K&N Air filter Rejetting the carbs (this might not be necessary, check your spark plugs) Mustang seat (if you're 5'8" or shorter) or Corbin seat (if taller) Cobra, MC or Honda Aero floorboards (Cobras do interfere with V&H, so check the Exhaust section of this site for the fix) Crash Bar with Hiway Pegs. Throttle Rocker Shadow Spirit backrest and luggage rack. T-Bag for extra storage. That'll get you started. Then you can add other stuff (AKA "Bling") to make it your own. Check back often and welcome to the forum! You meet the nicest people on a Honda (forum).

HSATF Member Posts: 9 04/19/07 10:43 AM	The stock seat feels pretty dang comfortable. Is there a huge difference between it and a corbin (I'm over 6 foot)? Really all I think I need is a back rest (does that just bolt on behind the stock driver's seat?) and a better backrest for passenger (probably go with the trunk/backrest setup - any suggestions?). And, to clarify, I just need the highway pegs - I have crash bars.

Posts: 2283 04/19/07 11:13 AM	Regarding the comfort of the stock seat.....At first I thought the stock seat was OK till I took a long trip. Oh man...my backside needed a rest every 50 miles. I now have a Corbin seat and I really like it. If you can find one (Ebay) go for it. Mustangs are comfortale also but if you are 5'10" or taller the Corbin will give you another 1 to 1.5 inches of room. Bob

HSATF Tail Gunner Posts: 97 02/23/08 10:19 AM Tail Gunner	I would recommend a sheep skin cover. I have ridden up to 500 miles in a day with no PAIN! Plus if it gets cold, it's nice & warm. Last year in August, I was over in the Canadian Rockies & it started snowing, I was glad to have that sheep skin. This year I have invested in heated gloves, so it pays to be comfortable. Dartman.
