WHERE and why are you cruising at 90 MPH ? thats not a legal or safe criusing speed anywhere and your trolling for police nothing relaxing about that . different wind screens ,seats, highway pegs are are available RIVCO makes a nice set of HIGHWAY pegs that mount to the peg rails I have them on my ROADSTER . YOU cant travel at those speeds your going to spend all your spare time in court so slow down and relax and enjoy yourself . I went riding with a couple of Harley guys that thought they could cruise along on the highway at 90 to 100 mph from TRENTON NJ to SOUTH ST in PHILA PA so I just let them go and I cruised along with the traffic at 65 they never made it I passed them and the police had pulled them over issued them speeding tickets for 92 mph and they ended up loosing their Driving privledges Also your not going to get good gas mileage traveling at 90+ mph

That is really an issue with where you live. Speed limits in the east are crazy low (I grew up in western NY). The posted speed limit on many rural roads in the west is 80-85. And on many of these roads 90 mph or higher traffic is common. Montana in particular is great-85 posted on interstates, but even most narrow, 2-lane country roads are posted at 70. Both are regularly exceeded and the police are very civilized about it. Conditions are a lot different than in the east. Lots longer distances to cover (Montana alone is as wide as nearly the entire Eastern Seaboard), there are far, far fewer people and in many places it is far more open-you can see clear to the horizon in many places. Not to mention that attitudes are far different-the "nanny state" protectionism of the eastern states isn't tolerated in the west. Droning along at 65 would be dangerous-it is beyond mind-numbing and exhausting.
