most useful thing i can recommend is to locktite all bolts securing racks/etc to the bike. i lost almost all my bolts at least twice on my trip, seems chris scott wasn't joking when he said locktite everything! (obviously not the engine bolts).
engine bars are a good thing to stop the engine casing being cracked (another thing i did during one of my numerous falls), but watch out on the 3AJ that you can fit engine bars if you have a kick starter installed - i think the two clash for the same space.
be wary of mounting luggage on the handle bars/front of the bike, as it can affect the steering quite seriously, particularly if it is a container holding a liquid which can slosh from side to side, thus accentuating the weight distribution.
good luck!
