Those who have done it will tell you the FD swap is easy. I know some guys who went to Alaska last year all riding the same bike. The V-Max, which is another gas guzzler. Before the trip, all of the bikes were swapped to Euro final drive to extend the range. After the trip, the FDs were swapped back. It can't be too tough.
