$10000.00 won't even get you started at HPN. If you strip the bike down yourself and send them the frame to be modified you can make it with only a modified frame, WP front forks ready to fit standard front wheel, Rear Shock and the 100mm lengthened cardan shaft.
But to be honest if the rest of the bike is in good shape you don't need more than this.
It will be nice to add the 1043cc Mahle converted motor but you can add another $10000.00 for this if you go the full hog with dual spark heads, sport crank, rally clutch, oil cooler & thermostat, larger sump, different cam to increase torque plus the labour to put this whole lot together.
Improving the brakes and adding tougher wheels and large 43l tank and rally fairing are all nice to haves and surely will make life easier in some instances.
The question is though do you want a bike a do you want to travel.
Few of us can afford both.

I agree though that a GS will make the best platform to start your modifications for off road use.
