I am about to be purchasing a Victory Cross Country Tour to be able to... you got it, tour across the country.
However even though I don't have any off roading experience am intrigued by a bike that is designed to literally do it all, tour, offroad, true adventure bike.
My first question to you experienced adventure bikers, is can this bike comfortably tour. Solo loaded up? Two up? I'm refering to both backroad long days as well as sitting on a highway with a cross wind. Adequate wind protection with/without side deflectors, with extra tall shield? Does it protect your shoulders from the wind? I came from a Ninja 650R and I tried to convert that into a street tour bike as much as possible.
Has anyone put a Givi V46 on the back (with that mount as I assume the stock rack isn't strong enough) or larger trunk? (to be able to fit two helmets)
Also, has anyone put on "highway pegs" of a sort, kind of like sliders off of the engine guard, or any other configuration.
Thank you!
