Did you see the DP HM catalog yet? There's a nice tank bag/side bag set up in there. Also there's a rear rack and tail bag but I think a set of Dowco saddle bags might be better for a trip like that. I'm hearing about 120 miles between fill ups which is pretty close to what I get out of my SS running around local. If I tuck in on the highway on the SS I can go about 150 miles before the fuel light comes on....... Better figure on 120-130 on the HM though since the tuck in aerodynamics aren't possible. I wonder if there won't be a bigger tank offered in the near future, pretty sure there has been a bigger one in the DP catalogs for the 749 & 999.
