The longest ride for me was Detroit Michigan to Macon Ga. 811 miles. I was on a 1998 Valk with no windshield. I was having clutch problems (rivets in clutch basket letting loose). Common with some Valks. Did I-75 all the way and only used the clutch to stop and get started after gas. Didn't use it to shift 2nd thru 5th. Made it home to Ocala the following day but, but my arse was dragging.Originally Posted by willtill

F6B with custom seat(Legendary-Bill Mayers)) will do the trick, Ma...dt windshield and Ergo 111 and cruise control, and Helibars for super comfort, and stop for gas every 100 miles or so and to powder the nose or stretch.

My set up other than the shield and cruise control I use a Daylong saddle and Helibars with the Ergo lll for the most comfortable ride ever.F6B with custom seat will do the trick, Ma...dt windshield and Ergo 111 and cruise control, and Helibars for super comfort, and stop for gas every 100 miles or so and to powder the nose or stretch
I look forward to your report on the trip.

The trip went smooth as silk, the BEAST just won't let you down, short of a little temp drop at 7000 ft+ at 3AM
I rode my Corona-Salt lake city-Las vegas route 1593 miles within 33 hours, and that was with sleeping in a hotel for a nap
This was my first SOLO trip, and yes it is quiet in the headset, without your buddy's conversation, so the music made up the difference, it is manageable.

Hi Max, do you really stop every 100 miles on those long rides. That's seems like a ton of extra time. What's the fuel range on your bike?
Had a 98 valk also and did an 850 mile day. You and I know a 5.3 gallon tank and 6 carbs = lots of gas station stops.
