I know for touring he makes use of one of those Wolfman Beta bags and found it held plenty for a 2 week trip to Glacier, including camping gear, since he did some tent camping.
I know he has also upgraded the suspension and a few other odds and ends, that I am sure he could tell you about. But he has done a couple of similar trips on his.
There was also a gal on TriumphRatNet who took hers solo across the country. I can try to find her trip report again. You could probably chat with her and see what she did to make those miles more comfortable.
Long distance touring can absolutely be done on a Bonneville, but should you ultimately decide on a big Adventure bike with shaft drive and cruise control…
