I decided to try and create some back support for the long ride so I pulled out my military issued duffle bag and placed 2 foam sleeping pads inside to create a nice round form. Then, I stuffed my cold whether and rain gear inside the sleeping pads which resulted in a perfectly round and firm cylinder. Then I took some 550 cord and tied it down to the bike. The connection is very solid and it created the exact effect I was looking for. I am going to take the bike down to the Harley dealership again to have them change the risers so that the handlebars are closer to me so I can have a more reclined position. Everything is starting to come together and there is only four more weeks until we hit the road!
