Very cool!
I for one would be very interested to hear more about it. Looks like you already have highway pegs, so only other suggestion I would make is a backrest. I did a long journey last year, and one of my work colleagues highly recommended it.
I think it definitely eases your back, and would recommend based on my experience.

Forget about mods to the bike. It will be fine. Bring tools that can get the wheels off and also tire irons with repair kits and an air pump. Also a list of every Kawasaki dealer on the route there.
My brother and I rode all the way from Maine to Alaska back in 1983.
He had a 1981 GPZ1100 and I had a 1983 GPZ1100.
Very long days in the saddle and lots of gas stops. You are going to spend a lot on fuel and that $20 isn't going to go very far.
We both had fart sacks and tank bags to carry all our crap.
There were no cell phones back then but I carried a pair of 2 meter HT's for emergency communication.
I've been a HAM since age 13.
And remember to pay attention like everyone else on the road is blind.
Have fun.
