Thanks both. Yes, corrosion is problem down here. We're only 50 yards from the quayside and get salt spray when it's windy, so the bike is both garaged and saturated in a thin film of oil. So far it's not got any corrosion despite me using it year-round. The planned trip in March is with my mate who runs a NC750X-DCT.... Home to Plymouth ferryport, ferry to Santander, Picos de Europa, Leon, Seville, Algeciras, ferry to Tangier, Rabat, Casablanca, Marrakech, Tichka pass over the Atlas mountains to Ouarzazate, Boumaine Dades, Dades Gorge, Agoudal, then cross-country to Gara Medouar (the crater in the Bond film Spectre), Merzouga, then 200km cross-country along the Paris-Dakar Rally route to Tagounite, Zagora, Errachidia, Fes, Ceuta, ferry to Algeciras, then a few days rest in Gibraltar before heading north to Salamanca and then the ferry from Santander back to Plymouth. Will be sure to start a thread on here about it when we go.
