Okay, figured I'd start a new one for everything else I need.

Any suggestions for gloves, jackets and pants? I cant afford to lose the skin off my palms when I go through my first fuck fucking wreck, I want to be protected.

Also, this bike will be seeing a lot of highway cruising miles, so any suggestions for gear that will help out on that aspect would be very helpful, but I'm not trying to load out the bike with saddle bags and a ginormous windscreen.

for the long trips - are they going to be long round trips - or are you going to need clothes/supplies for a few days?

They will be week-long type trips. But I pack extremely light, like a packpack with 2 days worth of clothes and my toothbrush. and in september I will be sending my suit and shite ahead of me with other people

I'd definitely invest in a corbin saddle for it
