Just caught this thread, and thought I'd mention that I'm off to the Nordkapp next month as well. Going with a mate (from Guildford wouldn't you know!) on two Africa Twins. Doing the Fjordline ferry from Newcastle to Bergen, a couple of days in the fjords, then up the coast. We're leaving the weekend before mid-summers day, with the intention of being in Hammerfest for the weekend of the 21/22nd June.
In terms of planning we're doing the minimal thing; got the ferry booked, bought a map, and that's about it.
For accomodation we'll be looking for those log cabins at campsites, with a tent as backup. We'll probably stick to the E6 on the way north, but after the mid-summer weekend we'll decide wether to head south through Sweden, or take in a few places we didn't see on the way north.
Does anyone know what the cost of unleaded petrol is in Norway and Sweden at the moment?

ps Looks like most European bikers do the same trips. Here's my Morocco photos: http://www.geocities.com/is_woolley/Maroc2001
