question

[megs_dad1]

Hi all, new member here. dont own a 'busa yet. currently have an 06 Goldwing. used mostly for commuting. only 15 mile round trip. about twice a month we go on a weekend trip of 200-500 miles. at least twice a year we try and take a 7-10 day trip. usually put 300-500 miles a day. now Wife wants to get a trike for her to drive. so my first thought is trike the wing and buy a busa. question is what modifications might be needed to be able to put in several 300-500 mile days in a row???
Thanks much
John

Welcome to the oRg! I dont know if you could ever make the busa as comfortable as the wing, however, if you get yourself a tobin seat, lower pegs, and bar risers, you will be set for many days of riding. I have stock pegs and stock bars and can ride for several hundred miles per day 2-up. However, I do have a set of bags that keep my wife from being the luggage rack. LOL. Let others that do even more riding than I chime in. 500 miles a day is not really that uncommon.

Lots of good information here.

to the oRg. There's lots of mods for traveling. I keep mine stock and do the 300-500 mile a day rides. Tell the wife that the rear seat is extremely comfy on the Busa

raise the bars and new seat.

And trike the wing

Those links will get you started. Don't know your age, physical condition, or size. You might not need to mod the bike at all. Check out New Owners Forum, and enjoy the search engine.

Comfort & ergonomics that fit you is highly subjective. Sacramento is surrounded by nothing but twisty roads in all directions so when you get that Busa, whole new world will open up to you.

Busa is a 'does all things well' bike and is much loved by the sport-touring community. Once you have it in the garage, there's not shortage of things you can do to it to make it work for you.

Nothing to apologize for. Always go to advance search. Tons of info here and some pretty good individuals with tons of experience and knowledge.

I meant to mention Tim. He and a few others put an azz of miles on their bikes and will be a great help to you, and Tim can hook you up with probably anything you need including some nice trips.
