Had a meeting with Patrick from XTravels. He made several trips to the Sahara, has his own saharatravelburo now and knows how to prepare bikes! With him I am going to make the following changes to the bike: Fit a Kickstarter, build a rack, fit a Cylinder Head Temperature Gauge (it’s cheap and tells you when something is really wrong). I ordered a WP suspension specially for my bike load, I tell you that IS pricy but they told me its the difference between a travel and a pleasant one!
