Dave,
I think your bike will be great for your trip. I ride a Trophy 1200 that probably has a few pounds on yours and have yet to have a problem. lucky for me my wife has a strong back for the one occasion when I dropped it in a parking lot.
Parts for my bike if not on hand can be had in a couple of days.
I fear you think that you are coming to an barren empty land. While we do have some spots of that we also have a fairly well established civilization that should be able to meet all of your motorcycle needs. Even oil filter will be available at the triumph dealers.
Fear not. We will neither let the bears eat you or force you to burn your tires on the shoulder of the road to keep warm.
Rick
