If you're concerned, just run with the windshield down!
I like my teeth too much to do that, especially since I'm sure I'll be grinning like a fool the whole way!

You'll be just like the happy motorcycle rider. You can tell the happy motorcycle rider by the bugs in his teeth.

really though. a set of headphones like these and you will feel like you are inside a lexus with the stereo up.
COLOUD Headphones - American Eagle Outfitters
They are just as good as the skull candy's the kids wear while doing 40 mph down the mountain on skis. AI tried them on in the store. They will work with your phone too if you have an iphone.
Its funny that you are so concerned with this trip. The
keeps talking about how much fun it will be to take the cruiser to the texas beaches (500 miles round trip). I keep explaining to her that it will be quite a long trip at 55. (I have 29 inch ATs) 
Ive told her i just need 33x9.5s first
googles, ear muffs, open road travel
It's illegal in most states to drive with any type ear phones or ear plugs in, so check this out in your state. I recently took my 5-year old camping which was a 250-mile trip each way, and I put some of the cheaper "noise-cancelling" shooting earmuffs on him, and he did fine.
As for goggles, I'd get some better sunglasses so you don't lose your peripheral vision. Just don't forget your gloves and a good hat. Rubber bands or tape around your sleeves to keep the cold air out will help too.
Do you have your factory front and rear heater boxes? I restored mine and they really work great, plus the heat from the exhaust pipe which goes right under the driver heat is a big help in the winter, although it makes summer driving here in Georgia almost unbearable.
I'm planning a trip from Eastern Washington to Seattle on the west side of the mountains, roughly 240 +/- miles in the next couple of weeks.
What I'm wondering, from other's experience, is it worth it to put my top and doors on for the trip (PITA), or is it easier just to sport the ski goggles and earplugs for 4+ hours?
Stock F, 3 speed, 33x9.5 tires, probably going state roads rather than Interstate, so around 45-60 mph most of the way.
I'm not asking from an efficiency standpoint unless there is a severe difference, just relative ease of travel.
If it adds to the equation, there will be lots of beer and chainsaws at the end of the drive. Not together of course.
