John,

Take a good tire repair kit.  The Dalton Road from Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay
eats tires.  Read: sharp rocks!  Did that run in 2003 and while the
Metzlers on my K100LT made it through the two guys I was with had major
punctures from the sharp rocks.  It may be better today - ask around the
bike dealers in Fairbanks....

Cheers!!
Jim
