+1 for the Aeroflow. Here is the one we use on Terri's 2004 R1150R - http://www.mklsportster.com/r1150r/aflow.jpg - Taken many highway trips with speeds well in excess of 80mph continuous for hours on end. It's night and day difference compared to the BMW "Touring" shield the bike came with.

Is 70mph the practical limit?

Having experienced the monotony of the UK motorway network over many years (on both 2 and 4 wheels) I can fully appreciate why sitting at 65-70mph is not a great experience.
Last time I was home, travelling up the M40 (London to Oxford) at 90mph was about average speed for the traffic! Oh, and it was in a tintop.
Can I offer two solutions to John's problem? Firstly, if motorway stints are frequent, get an RT. Alternatively, if you can afford a little more time (and fun) stay off the motorways!
Yes motorways are great for covering distances quickly (the exception being the M25 car-park) but they don't put smiles on dials like the backroads can.
With Spring on your doorstep, now is a great time to find those 'alternative' routes.
