Probably the biggest comfort improvement you can make is to change out the clip-on mountings for something 1), higher and 2), with a more relaxed angle for the bars. Mine are from Fast by Ferraci.

Second, change the windshield for a design that moves the air higher, at mid-helmet height or better. I have a Zero Gravity and it made a big improvement, especially over 80 MPH.

Third, and this is very rider-specific, try a different seat. Some feel the Sargent or Corbin seats are great, but I'm fine with the stock seat.

i have a 99 900ss, how much difference in the bar angle from stock to the ferrachi mounts. i am short and the agressive angle gets me after a few hours.
i have a corbin seat very comfy no complaints there
also i havent found any replacement screens anywhere

I'm 5'7" and the Ferracci clip-on mounts work fine. Zero Gravity has the windscreen you need.

I've heard the crampbuster is the best $10-ish dollars you'll ever spend on your bike.

Only downfall i've heard of is you have to get used to where its at on your throttle so you're not accidently hitting it and accelerating when you don't intend to.

I have Kyle USA clip on's, can't say I noticed a monster difference in riding comfort, it's fait to say it helped though. With the angle thats on the bars you can slightly adjust to your preference, with me only being 5"7, I angled mine back and slightly up.

Haven't tried a seat cause i don't see much benefit, nor does the price for one seem worth while. My ass just took a month or so to used to the stock one and now it's pretty rare to get so uncomfortable where i begin looking at a $300 option to make it better.

Why would you want a paddle on your throttle when you can add a nylon thumbscrew stop for less than $1.00 in parts and a little labor on your part?

I drilled a new hole in the throttle housing and threaded it to accept a nylon thumbscrew I bought at the local hardware store. It was located so it would contact the nylon throttle eccentric aft of the cable slot. The thumbscrew simply acts as a throttle stop when it is turned inwards. The thumbscrew is of a large enough diameter that I can turn it with gloved hands.

I've been using a CrampBuster for the last few long trips I've taken on the bike (1300+ miles each). While they aren't a true cruise control, they are nice since it takes minimal pressure to maintain a throttle position. Last trip, which was a couple weeks ago, I actually forgot it at home, managed to find one at a Honda shop in British Columbia though. Personally I prefer these to a cruise-control type of thing (i.e. set screw or Throttlemeister) since I don't want to have the throttle pinned open in case any incidents happen.

To each his own... I've used the thumb screw for over ten years now and it works fine. Your concern about a stuck throttle is real but I think the chances of that happening are very slim. I don't set the throttle screw so tight I can't rotate the throttle; just enough so I can let go for a few seconds to rest my arm.
