How much extra?
Absolutely nothing! Why would you? Money saved is more funds for trip.
Do you need gps? Large tank? Alloy boxes? Really?
Nice to have but not essential. I'm now back in Delhi having just ridden all around india for over 4 months and 10,000 miles on a 150 locally produced hero Honda (800 ukp). Link on here to blog (my first ever) but suffice to say, snow, ice, extreme heat, monsoon, sand and water etc etc and it made it. Ride what you have - you really don't need the extras.
A map, compass and a 5 litre can on the back (if you must) and you're good to go.
I've ridden in many countries using this simple approach and I've always been okay. Getting 'lost' is part of the fun.
Save your cash and have more away time - perfect!
I did have a multi purpose top box though - it's also my plane hand luggage
