Sounds like your bike might be my bike's doppleganger! I have a 2001 Bandit 600 (blue) with 1" bar risers, Givi windscreen, Givi E41 side cases and Givi V46 top box. I haven't changed the seat though. I did a long trip out to Nova Scotia this past summer and found the seat comfortable up to about 600km. After that it started to get a little sore.

I can say this, the planning of the trip is half the fun! So enjoy thinking about it, researching it, planning it and prepping for it. By the time you leave, you're trip really is half over!
