I did notice neck and right hand fatigue after four days. It was worth it I love my big boy bike. It was nice to finally have the AK 20 front fork kit set properly for me after the maker Traxxion worked on it.

I’ve toured on mine just fine. Sturgis, tail of the dragon, Canada. I just wish I had cruise. It’s more comfy than my Road Glide.

Really?...I was wondering about comfort comparison as I’ve only ever ridden Triumphs. Are you saying your Rocket is more or ass comfy as your Roadglode?

It can be done for sure. The issue with traveling on a multiple day trip is carrying the clothes and gear to make the touring acceptable. Here is how you do it with no bags or luggage.

Have your wife take the big touring bike to carry all your chit. She carries your clothes, pipe bag, rain jacket and beer. Here we are on Wayah road in NC.

looking at your roadster are these "air shocks " mounted on your bike if you answer Yes beware of their strength.. I hit a pothole 11 inches deep and both shock had the bottom visible shaft bent 30 degrees... rode without suspension for about 25 miles before making it to a small town and buy a new set of a different brand.

Not exactly. These are Racetech GS-3 shocks with a piggyback reservoir for compression damping adjustments. High tech crap that is over my head but they do work.
