You can do a saddlesore on the CB1100 on a stock seat. BTDT
However, I used a windshield, which was a good idea, as we were unlucky and had a lot of rain and cold.
Small fuel capacity of my 2013 CB1100 was a little bit annoying.
I wrote a short report of my SS1600K of April 2015 here:

That was in Italy:

Have fun!

Bought a Ram mount for my phone, a new tailbag (Nelson-Rigg), new gloves (Aerostitch Competition Ropers) today.
The charity I am supporting has raised over $1400 in support of this ride, some of it from people on this forum who I have not even met! Our goal is $2000, so we're inching closer!
Thank you for supporting this organization and my ride.

Good luck brother!

I see you've cracked $2K, MTC. Well done.
RE: EmptySea's SS1000 attempt - emptysea - 06-25-2017
Thank you, Cormanus, but the real thanks goes to those who contributed -- and more than a couple from this very forum did just that. You really do meet the nicest people on a Honda..and even on a Honda forum.
Mostly packed. Interestingly, I'm packed much lighter than I thought I would be. I guess when I started thinking about this trip, I was focused on the miles, but for packing, I'm only gone for a day. Aside from some extra food, emergency toiletries, and a change of clothes, I'm pretty much packed like I would be for a day ride.
Went for a 100 mile ride and I noticed every bump, ache, and pain. I think it's psychological because I feel great now. Pretty excited about this try. Hitting the road just about 33 hours from the time of this post -- 3:30 Tuesday morning.

Good luck, mate. Ride well and safely. 200 miles at a time.
RE: EmptySea's SS1000 attempt - Django - 06-25-2017
Have a good trip! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Don't go there ferret. An iron butt is not a race or rally.It is nothing but an individual competition with yourself and a 24 hour clock. That is all.
Go for it MTC! Have extra gloves in case you lose one or they get soaked.
