Take your rads off and clean them up good and proper. sort out any bent fins and make sure the central part of your lower rad is clean as a whistle.

Take spare throttle and clutch cables..just in case, spare bulbs.

The main issue will be the heat so make sure that this is sorted.

Have fun...wish I was going away for a trip :poke:

you seem to have covered everything would maybe take a spare reg/rectifier with you just in case or get charging system checked before you go.

yea im rele looking forward to it =D, ah just as well u said my bottom rads pretty battered! is it not worth refurbing the carbs? also my rear shock is squeeking a bit when i push the back down, is there much i can do to sort this out or is it a simple replace?

like dave says you have covered mainly everything...........but double check the charging system and make sure its all tip top as its the last thing you want.
