My longest ride from GA to MS NXT WEEK

That is just one fuel stop, you can do it bro. 
one of my favorite pieces of advice i ever received for traveling was don't wait until you start getting uncomfortable to begin changing your riding position...i start stretching and flexing my quads, hams, glutes, back, etc. about 15 minutes into the ride and make sure to never stay in any one position too long...it keeps the blood flowing through your entire body instead of pooling and you won't feel nearly as sore and beat the next day
next, have fun on your ride...don't push it too long or hard especially since this is your first time riding that far...if you see something intriguing, take a couple minutes to pull over and look at it and you'll be surprised at how many times you've passed right by something interesting in a car without ever noticing it is there

I would say do yourself a favor and get you a "Throttlemeister" first. They are about $150 and the cruise control to switch out hands on the bars has to be a huge factor. Now I haven't ever traveled that far but just going 50 miles to see my folks it really comes in handy (pardon the punch-line), I can only imagine hundreds of miles.
Also I like one of the other comments, enjoy your ride I would think. I would hate to think of getting caught up in making good time like when you're in a car or something, motorcycling is all about taking it all in every inch of the way; a certain adventurist mindset
I'm sure you know that though
You might look into a double-bubble windscreen and heli-bars too? I also just ordered me nifty little gadget for my rear hump, I found it on "Tiger Racing" website and it's called a TGB-13B Glove Box. just search for the glove box if you think you would want that. I can't wait to put it on, I can have more storage other than a back back.

That's a short ride brother. you'll be fine. I lay on my tank a lot 
Also, if you tired or start hurting, take a 10 to 15 minute break and stretch your legs. You will feel like a new man.

Awesome bro, the more you ride the more you will love it. I remember when I first joined, I was concerned about taking a "long" ride and wanted to know to take with me, it was 110 miles. LOL
