Cool Adventure Conversion Addition request

Some great responses concerning an 07 conversion. A buddy and I are planning the same trip on a pair of 06 Tigers. From what I've been reading on line, we will see a number of fellow travelers along the way. (Traffic?)We are going from Key West to Prudoe Bay via Arkansas, (to stay at a my buddy's brother's place) Colorado Springs, up to Calgary, then to Fairbanks and the Haul Road. Return is through Vancouver, San Diago, Yuma and RT 10 East. We are planning on maintenance stops in stride at various Triumph shops and am interested in recommendations. As a previous poster said, most MC people are great, but everyone has their own recommendations. Anything as to shops and specialized equipment are welcome. Of particular concern is fuel availablity and driving ranges between Fairbanks and Prudoe Bay. At approx 45 mpg on paved roads it will be awfully close. What are the collective thoughts on making it with no spare gas can vs stopping a Wal Mart and strapping a spare gas can on the back rack. (I don't care for the idea, but ya gotta do what you gotta do...) Looks like we have some great adventures planned this year.

Thanks
