34" inseam here. I have the Corbin seat with an extra 1" of foam. Legs bend more than a KLR or a BMW GS, but I've never experienced leg cramps. Stops for fuel seem to be at just the right intervals for stretches. I originally had risers which brought the bars up and back. I went back to stock because I like the position better.
As far as luggage: If you like the adventure look, and don't mind a more "permanent" solution, you can attach any aluminum top box to the standard OEM rear rack with bolts/nuts/silicone. You can do the same with panniers and the right mounts. If you like that look, check out happy-trail.com. They're based in my former hometown of Boise, ID, and they have the best service I've experienced in motorcycle stuff.
If you ride over 50mph, you'll probably want to add a windshield or small fairing to take at least some of the wind blast off your chest. Over an hour at 75mph can be a beating.
Planning a long riding/camping trip to Big Bend this spring. Can't think of a bike I'd rather do that trip on.
