IMHO you can also over prepare. I once met a rider at the Elefant rally who'd gone for the full monty police spec alternator, sump heater, thin oils and so on. His R100 was leaking because either the newly fitted sump had been assembled wrongly or the extreme winter oil was just incompatible with gaskets designed in the 1960's. If you are going to do major work, build up to the places its harder to get back from.
