You won't find many bm dealers between Turkey and India.. you'll take what you get.
Second on the Torrance tyres - buy them in Turkey and they should last to India ... Assuming Iran, Pakistan trip...
Fuel filters will fail if you get bad petrol.. carry two?
Oil filters .. well using an old filter won't do the bike harm. And it will keep running. What you want to carry are those things that fail and leave you stoped somewheres unplanned. Alternator belts can and do fail.. but usually they give signs - cracking and dirty bits inside the cover = replace. Put a new belt on say a month before you leave. Have the bike serviced a week before you leave. Get an oil change in Turkey ...official bm dealer there?
Bolt on goodies? ... Less is more. Take less clothing - buy it on the way .. good souvenirs and you'll merge in more.
