I'd like to hear about your bikes mods and how they worked out for you at some time.
By the way, I ride the same bike a 2001 TT600R...even down to the Heidenauer K60s

Hello!
Interesting with the same bike and similar (start of) trip. We might be leaving a bit earlier than you though. Hoping we can leave in a week or so and move pretty quickly to croatia and Turkey. Will let you know if we're slowed down!
Mods.. I had not touched a motorcycle ever in my life until April this year, so dont expect big stories
From memory what I have done:
- Acerbis 20l tank
- 12v and USB electicity to charge GPS, camera, inflate tires etc (kick-start so no battery)
- Center stand
- Barkbusters
- Heated grips (not on yet)
I also bought protection for front suspension, but being a beginner Im not sure its worth the trouble of disassembling steering and all just to be able to "pull on" the sock/protection.
Then of course I bought a lot of things such as spare parts, bags for luggage, GPS, GPS holder, camera, Airhawk seat (for my girlfriend sitting behind) etc.
I have probably missed more than I did right, but Im hoping this will get me to where I want. At least I have a bike and this week I also passed last test for driver's license - what more can possibly be needed?
