Just go for it..
This road has specifically been designed to be the worst 2 days riding of your trip, simple as that..
That said, approach it with a positive (and realistic) attitude and you'll find that you might even enjoy it..
I travelled this road last year (twice in the space of ten days..) 2 up with my girlfriend on a fully loaded DR650.
We knew it was going to be a shit road from all the reports from other travellers, we were also told there may be armed bandits and that we possible wouldn't even make it..
We did, no damaged to the bike and no falls.
Expect the worst, take your time (it took us 8hrs each day) and stick to your driving line/rut.
Also, stop loads, you're driving through one of the most remote and beautiful parts of Africa so why not enjoy yourself.
