PaulJ,
Why these roads? Well, the general idea was to suggest smaller scenic roads instead of the major roads where possible, without adding too much to the travel distance. There are a lot of beautiful areas between south Scandi and Nordkapp that you shouldn't miss to see.
Norway: Bergen-Andalsnes is a very beautiful area, Jotunheimen (Scandi's highest mountains), Geiranger fjord (very touristy though), Trolltindene with the serpentine road Trollstigsvei.
North of Trondheim the coastal road #17 is more beautiful than the inland E6, but E6 is quite OK too. Lofoten Islands are also very beautiful.
Sweden: There are basically two choices going north, the coastal E4 or the inland #45. Although E4 is beautiful between Harnosand and Ornskoldsvik, I think that #45 generally is more interestering and much more typical of Sweden in my opinion.
Dagjen, thanks for the info on gravel roads in Norway, it seems that there are a lot more possibilities than I thought.
