Make up some fork gaiters
All the above is excellent advice, esp taking fork seals. I rode my '07 DL1000 from NY to TDF and that's the only problem I had. One thing I would add is to install some sort of fork gaiters, to keep dirt from collecting on your fork stanchions and runining your seals and maybe scaoring your fork tubes. I made some up on the trip using a rag and some zip ties, but they worked! This is simple and, I think, important. Have a great trip!!
