When I ferried my Ten I used four small tie down straps. Two off the front loop under the bottom yoke going to each side and two at the back from the pannier frames. This triangulated the bike on the sidestand. I do have a centre stand but the bike is way too high to be stable.
If you get hard luggage you can pull the bike to the side on the sidestand and put a pannier underneath the bash plate. I have MM panniers and they are fine for this!
Handguards are a must as in even heavy rain provided you are moving you will find that the rain does not get at your hands too much.
I always carry a Poncho as it can be used a a temporary shelter and used with your bike can be used to cook under should the weather be inclement. You can also put it over your biking gear when you stop and you will find that if it is raining your bike gear will drip dry quite a bit and then getting into a tent just slip it off as you enter, stops water from following you inside.
Sorry to go on , I just love camping!
