The route round the lake is BUMPY. Don't try it with leaky fork seals. We were two up with luggage, and managed to crack the rear sub frame.
On the Bolivian side of the 'border' there is a small village / town with a customs and separate police station. the customs guy didn't know much and the police knew even less.
On the Peruvian side there's an army camp, but no barrier/checkpoint, etc. You'd be better off going into Peru and then doubling back clockwise around the lake. It's a spectacular route.
Happy travels
