I have the Kury highway boards and really like them. I would have been nicer to have the 4" arms instead of the 6" they come with. Because of how they mount, I can't actually stretch my legs out, but it's the change in position that makes the difference. I don't have any issues wit the seat, and I've put in some fair lengthy days in the saddle (13 hours is the longest so far). I had a faux sheepskin on my '84 and it made all the difference in the world. Lots of the GWRRA members I've spoken and ridden with have Hartco custom built seats and they really like them, but you are talking made to measure and serious $$, but no more than a Corbin or Ultimate or Mustang, and they are made to fit you personally. Some riders use the beads for the seat, but I have trouble getting my mind around them. I like my trunk rack for light stuff (rainsuits, jacket liners etc), but you can't let the Mrs pack that bag. Mine only understands volume; funny how unless it concerns clothing sizes that (most) women have no conception of weight. If you haven't got liner bags for your bike, I'd recommend those, they keep the trunk and saddlebags tidy. I used to carry a tank bag on the 1200, but they had different bodywork and the straps could be made to work. The tupperware on the 1500's and 1800's pretty much stymies that option. There is a storage option for trailer hitches I've seen if space is what you are after, but it would likely put the bike waaaay over GVWR if loaded. We can do that with the volume we have now real easy. I thought my wife would be real happy with the Kury arm rests, but she's kind of non-commital on them so I don't know. I got her Transformer boards too, and she hasn't said all that much about them, she says she's not uncomfortable at all on the 1800 with or without them. I guess I should have went for more bling instead of being thoughtful?
