mine is a 2000 model
Things i would do again and say as important ,320 mm front rotor ,way better and also makes your pads last longer as there is less effort needed
Scott oiler ,a must for long distance travel ,you hardly touch your chain if you put on a good one with kawa sprockets
My dave built pannier racks ,my happy trails ones broke 3 times with ali panniers ,but just a little warning if you use ali panniers wear motocross boots all the time cause if you fall of those suckers can bite you
Dual star bright and shiney LED tail light as i don´t want any one doing me in the arse
Touring pegs ,they look a bit gay but they give your legs three choices of where to put them ,and beleive me you will want 3 ,they bolted on with a set of tank and radiator protection nerf bars
Formula 1 engineering rear shock ,this will make your bike into a dream machine ,wow factor ,right up there
and last and nearly the best was the corbin flat seat ,amazingly comfortable ,even though you think they look a bit hard when you first see it
my bike has 100,000 km on the clock and running sweet
definately a good choice
now i dont consider any one going on a round the world trip to be on tight budget as the bike is about the cheapest part of the whole equation ,its running and maintaining you and it that cost a whole lot more ,so if you want all these gadgets go for it, you will be still better off and more reliable than a ,lets say bmw 650
