Doing the same trip myself end of May, and also pondering the bash-plate engine bar issue.
Pictures below taken from other forum members show damaged water pump and a metal putty repair to the engine casing.
Protecting the water pump I would consider to be critical.
Not sure what is more likely, damaging the engine due to hitting a rock, or me simply dropping the bike on it's side.
I am considering either the Hepco & Becker engine bars, or the Adventure-Spec engine bar/bash plate combo.
