Mine has a set of bar risers, BMW sport grips, Buell pegs (lower than stock with more cornering clearance than stock), a CalSci 6+ windshield and an MRA visor on top of that (total windshield height is about 9" higher than a stock '08 C-14), a Corbin saddle and Airhawk cushions. I cannot ride the bike for more than about 45 minutes with the Corbin alone but with the Airhawk I can go 50 hours continuous (not a typo- fifty hours) without anything specific hurting.
http://www.zggtr.org/index.php?topic=2286.0 The biggest single change in comfort was the saddle- I can go about 3 hours on a stock seat, and maybe 4-5 hours on a Russell Day- Long before pain sets in. The Airhawk simply eliminates high pressure points and allows open- ended riding, at least for me, and the Corbin is the perfect bed for the Airhawk to sit on.
A Rostra CC works well on the C-14 but not as well as most factory autos, and it does not work as well as the factory CC on BMW's that I have ridden. Still, the Rostra will work more than well enough to make it very useful when grinding out a lot of highway miles. It works best at highway speeds as there is some load on the bike and that tends to buffer the changes in throttle. It will also work on secondary roads but it can be a little bit 'sharp' and move the throttle too much ending up with the bike's speed porpoising up and down quite a bit.

For guys like me who routinely have to churn out lots of interstate, and like 1,000 mile days, how have you modified your C14 for maximum touring comfort? Moreover, can you post pictures as well?
Lastly, how much have your modifications improved the C14's touring capabilities vs. stock?
Nice set up! Are the rises the Heli risers and wedge combo? Also, does th Rosta not work well enough for quick in traffic settings? Hoping the Rosta works nicely like a factory unit.
