The amount of clothes completely depends on the amount of days you go for. I would definately say bring rain gear, unless you don't mind riding in wet gear but that really sucks if you aren't headed home to change.
Hotels/motels you can either book ahead of time or just find one as you go. If you book ahead of time then you know where you have to be and when you have to be there, if you book as you go then you can explore more along the way.
Servicing - When you are out in the middle of nowhere such as everywhere between norther ontario and calgary there wont be as many shops. Make sure to do all your maintenance and check over the bike thoroughly before you leave.
Depending how many kms you can get on your tank, bringing a gas can is something to think of. Some stretches have a long distance between gas stops.
Another option is to go east or south. If you really want to do Calgary go for it however the ride in Canada would be boring for most of it. In the same amount of time you can get out east or down into a lot of nice roads south of the border.
Make sure you have general tools with you and a tire plug kit.
MP3 player would be nice also.
You wont need all of your luggage and backpack to fit everything. Just pack properly and you can get it all in there.
Lastly, remember to bring a map or GPS if you have a timeline to follow. Maps are good even if you are just out exploring in case you get completely turned around and lost.
