The Garmin Basecamp works pretty well if you have a Garmin GPS to work with it. You can select Motorcycle mode and it will keep you off the interstates pretty well.
I also use Microsoft Streets and Trips. It works good because I can set way points then choose the highway preferences for each segment. It allows me to use interstates when near cities and 2 lanes the rest of the time. You have to check the route after importing it into the GPS because sometimes the GPS will change the route from what you expect to to be.
Some of the guys use a Map maker that is on the Harley web site. I have not tried it but someone who has should be along shortly to give some insight.
Bottom line is none of them are perfect so try a few out and see what you like.
