I agree with all the above advice and modifications - I have over 150,000 miles on my own G/S and some of the above modifications, but I ask you to bear in mind the bike has no idea where it is (eg. darkest India)... at the very MOST you wont do 50,000 kms to OZ, do you really think all the above is nessesary, worth the time and expense for less than 50,000kms?
If you didn't buy all the above you could quit work 6 months earlier !
I think you'll end up a mobile bike garage, carrying too much weight, having no space on the bike, and the hassle of looking after all the spares - security - not free enough to enjoy all parts of the trip.
Not for me I'm more from the minimalist school and sooner spend the money on petrol - travelling light.
Cables,bulbs etc.
New rotor, new shock, new driveshaft. Full service. Finish.
Oh and if you have room, a detense spring for the gearbox...
