    I'm already looking for a replacement windshield and adding a passenger backrest. HW foot rest will be next once I find a ride to do before it gets cold.

    After a full nights sleep, the only thing that is sore is my neck, but there is nothing I can do to make my giant head weigh less.

    I got pretty lucky in the passenger backrest department. My wife likes the stock deluxe backrest.

    Wingstuff has foam grip covers that make the diameter of the grips bigger, gonna give those a try. I don't want to new grips on. I'll probably get the ergo 3 footrest over the winter.

    Sent my iron butt paperwork off a few days after my ride. I guess I should hear back from them around mid november.

    A big congrats on completing the SaddleSore 1000.
    3 of us did it together about 2 years ago. We decided to combine the SaddleSore 1000 and the BunBurner 1500 all in one ride. It was a handful to say the least.
    It does make you think a lot about why you're doing it....LOL....especially when the temperature goes from a nice 75 degrees to about 27 degrees at night in the mountains...LOL
    A friend of mine and myself are contemplating doing the Super BunBurner 1500....1500 miles in 24 hours.

    I coudn't come close without a better seat and windshield. I just rode mine 90 minutes and at 70 and above, I was getting my head blown off. I also have a broken tailbone from over a year ago and man does this seat aggravate it. Kudos to yall Iron butters.

    Welcome to the family. Been doing Iron butt rides for years, my latest was the Border to Border. Yup...Canada to Mexico in under 30 hours.
