Sounds great !
It's always good to hear of someone using an older bike instead of going the new BMW/Touratech route .
There are a few diehards that use these bikes for touring long distances ,
the biggest problem that you may have will concern the alternator .
If you replace it with a permanent magnet alternator ,you should be fine .
There is a ride report from the seventies of a guy riding one to Ushuaia , I tried a search but it seems it's no longer available .Anyway the bike was very reliable ,which is the main thing .
If you search on advrider you will find lots of info about these bikes and how they are being used .
Good luck ,keep us posted !
