I've been travelling (along with many others) on the XRV750 for many years.
You don't need the big tank. I get 400+ KM range on mine. More if I go easy.
There is nowhere in the world where you need more on a regular basis. Its just not worth the cost and the weight.
Front suspension upgrade is a nice idea. Not sure it's worth the cost either though. I settled for stiffer progressive springs and a new rear shock instead.
A FACET fuel pump is a must too. And I would carry a spare.
FIt a GENUINE Shingenden MOSFET reg/rect too. Great upgrade.
The XRV750 is not a powerful bike. My best advice is to keep your luggage light and small. Forget heavy aluminium boxes and heavy frames. The bike is not powerful enough.
Good luck with you trip. It sounds awesome
