PS, forgot a question for Mark.  Exactly how many spare fuel filters do you think we need?  How many emergency oil changed are you planning on carrying out during the course of this road trip?  Surely if we carry several spare oil filters it's pretty pointless if we don't also carry enough extra oil for the same number of oil changes.  Also, in my experience, its pretty easy to damage the hexagon when removing the oil filter bolt, particularly when using vice-grips to do it so, just to be on the safe side, we should also include several replacement oil filter bolts.  Some people have to remove the exhaust header in order to remove the fuel filter, so i would add four spare exhaust gaskets.

Having thought this through some more, I'm thinking I'm going to need so much stuff that the sidecar will be insufficient.   I'm going to get my wife to follow in the truck to carry it all.  Then, if I break down, we can put the bike in the truck and drive home where I can carry out repairs in my heated workshop.  

Further apologies in advance for taking the piss.
