Hey all...I love my 2014 ST-S. They style and the color set it off for me.

However, I'm wanting to ride further than around the state of Missouri. I've talked to some where they have made upgrades and other got a different model for travelling.

I know, I know this is all up to me...but, I like to see what the veterans of Spyders say and can offer advice-wise.

I'd like to be more comfortable, so I'm thinking of upgrading shocks and the seat. Maybe a back rest for myself.

I thought of saddle bags for more storage space, but then again I don't want to cover her up much if at all.

I guess I'm wondering if upgrading her would be ideal or replacing her for like a F3 style. She only has like 5k miles.

Has anyone traveled much on a ST-S or ST comfortably? I'm sure this is a yes, but was it as rough with the stock shocks or did you replace them?

I'm guess about $4-5k for shocks front and rear and a seat and backrest (maybe). Or use that money for an upgrade to a newer model...not sure which would be the smartest...even though I know it's my money and my decision.

Thanks.
