No offense but 500 miles isnt really a long trip. Thats just a weekend ride.
Get the perf jacket! Pack all your stuff into a large tankbag and go. Loose the GPS, hydration pack (riding with HD's means you will stop often for gas), back pack, motorcycle boots, LB, fuses.
Take a flat repair kit for tubeless tires.
Ive done some very long sportbike rides (6000 miles, 800 in a day) and the easiest thing to do is over pack. Look at some of my pictures in the FZ1 forum.
Have fun and take pictures!
