AIrhawk?? I think seems to be pretty good. I am surprised no-onw has suggesed a Corbin seat.
http://www.corbin.com/suzuki/ss40.shtmlMy understanding is.. this allows you to ride the savage all day. Sure looks the part. If we had kept ours.. this was the next upgrade.
My (novice) advice for prepping the savage:
replace the petcock.. as the petcock can cause the fuel bowl to go dry at high speeds for extend periods of time
replace the shocks with longer travel ( progressive)
windshield
better seat or seat pad
take oil with you.
some type of cruise device
replace headlight bulb... these get dimmer over time, just toss a new one in ... nothing special.
"Just because" upgrades
Vaypor trail dash... has a clock and tac
RAM mounts

I could do multiple 100 mile stints per day, but I haven't done more than 300 miles in a day, nor for multiple days. Spend your "saved" money on a nice motel room... or even a not so nice one with a massage bed!
