Could it be that your just use to the setup typical of many cruisers.
I couldn't get comfortable on the HD's I've ridden (not use to my feet being out front). Come to think of it...I can never sit still in a lazy boy either

You ever look at what is good posture for your body? It's not the lazy boy position and your body doesn't like being rattled to death either.

My Harley buddies and I have had this conversation multiple of times. Feet forward Kills my back, feet under me works the best for me. Cant tell you why but the feet forward position drives drives each and every shock up my spine.

I'd rather drive than take any of those but if I had to choose I guess the 1300 since I'm not a fan of cruiser seating positions.

Electra Glide is ugly, imo

Most hideous fairing ever. Effective, I'm sure, but hideous.

Ten days? I would take the ST and none of the interstates. I'd probably cross back and forth several times across the Appalachians before I got into DC.

For me It would be the ST . It suits my riding style is heavy enough to smooth out the bumps, has good handling a power curve that lends itself to superb touring.

I gave my choices. They have assigned me to a Honda ST.

I don't get a choice on the route. I don't get to choose where we stop. I won't have personal time. But, I'll be on a motorcycle for 10 days as a chaperone and lead/tail rider.

I look forward to it.

No shit, that's pretty awesome. I could think of a lot worse things to do for 10 days.

Regardless of which you end up riding...

That sounds like you have NONE of the stressers... just ride.

Sounds PERFECT!!
