Like Sous and many others here, I use my Hayabusa for touring. Right after I bought the bike, I installed Heli-Bars, a Zero Gravity ST shield, and a Corbin seat. I've ridden about 10000 miles with this setup in the past 15 months or so. The Heli-Bars didn't magically change my Hayabusa into a BMW, but I really like the difference they make. Incidentally, of the 3 changes I made, the Corbin made the most difference. I could never go long distance without that thing.
