merhaba,
*How do we notify the tribal police that we're on the way?
As soon as you enter pakistan, you will meet the levis guys at the taftan gate who will escort you to Multan within 3-4 days and about 25 checkpoints and escort changes.You will never be left alone until multan sometimes lahore..Periods depend on the current ground situation.
If there is a little risk, you will be kept staying at a hotel or a check point.
No worries,they are most friendly,service is free of charge and this part certainly is the most colorful stage of the trip to asia via this route.Obey the rules,what you are told,keep more water and some food in stocks.Gas nop.available at roadsides..No atm in iran and baloucistan part of Pakistan.
*Do they ask us on the Iranian side, as has been suggested?
Even at the iranian side, your last day will be escort ride too,beginning with bam and sometimes kerman..In bam ask the reception to call the iran escort early in the morning so that you can spend the first night at the first levis station at the pakistan side.,gate closed at 4 pm.
*Are there any reputable travel companies we can get to ease passage?
Only friendly levis escort tourism.
*Beyond the carnet are there any other interesting foibles with getting the bikes through?
No.Normal paperwork but more slowly.sometimes several selfies.At several checkpoints, your passport details will be handwritten on notebooks.better you write yours to save time.
*What are the security considerations after Quetta, when we're left alone?
Its very hard to leave the party with road friends in quetta that fast.At quetta, you will have to get noc certificate first after a tuktuk ride to gov.office together with a police.Probably you will be taken to bloomstar hotel in quetta..the hotel guys will arrange all for you.

Has anyone know of some good roads and "must-sees"?
This depends on your personal likes,dislikes,hobbies but you will be happy to discover natural beauties,friendships and dishes.(MAP friends from lahore are also on hub and they may tell you places to see in pakistan). you will get great attention and friendly supports on the roads.If you have time, head to KKH till chinese bordergate, dont miss the flag ceremony at wagah gate if you will head to india and then amritsar to golden temple..
Wish you all the best for this great trip..
