Sounds like one fantastic adventure!
From experience, I'd emphasize the importance of metric and imperial generally and on Allen wrenches, specifically, as well as the importance of a multi-head screwdriver.
As an aside, when running down the routine checklist, check the top heat guard on the engine, the bolts have a nasty tendency to be vibrated completely loose - I would not like to meet with that heat guard popping back at me at 60 mph.
Enjoy and keep us posted.
