Hi, yes I bought it around the same time as yours from a guy in cambridge. I have just done a 6000 mile round trip to russia with no problems other than the back wheel coming off on the autobahn at 70mph, which was interesting! check your nuts!! especially the left side as the rotation of the wheel means thay can unwind (a common enough problem on lorries that they sometimes reverse thread them) Afetr this I checked them every 1000 miles or so with a torque wrench and every time the left hand ones could be tightened. Don't over tighten though as when the wheel heats up it can crack. Mods I have made included getting a cheap inverter (24v) off ebay and getting the garage to put in a 12v plug for my GPS. This was off a direct feed to the battery (with fuse) so stays on even with the ignition off, which is handy. If you want a split charge system because you are worried about flatening your batteries how about getting a cheap (ish) flexible solar panel as a back up (available from boat chandlers). You would obviously lose half a day recharging but it would get you out of a fix. It's unlikely to be necessary though, especially if you invest your money instead into a serious pair of batteries (optimas for example) All the split charge system I have seen are very expensive and unless you are really running a lot of load with the engine off for long periods would seem rather unnecesasry.
