Yes, they have, and still do.
However, I'm here to tell you, the ONLY way that is doable is if there is PERFECT weather for a 30 hour time span, AND the road is in great condition.
There was one spot, approximately 20 miles long where they were working on the road, and the dirt was so loose and rocky that if I would have had my Hayabusa with me, or anything short of the KLR, I would not have attempted it.
While it *can* be done, I'm not going to be the guy to recommend it. I'd hate to see someone get up there, within 300 miles of Prudhoe, and have to turn around because of road conditions. That's why I took the KLR. I was *not* going to turn around.
ETA, I did 500 miles per day for 3 weeks on the KLR. That sucked. Don't recommend that kind of daily mileage on a single cylinder. LOL
