There is a lot of merit in just getting it running so that you can use it a bit; you may find other things needing attention which don't show while it is static. I am a great believer in 12 volt electrics for easy starting and happy night time motoring. With a decent 12v motorcycle battery at the back volt drop won't be an issue, and it will need less space than the 6v. You will have to change lamps, possibly horn and coil. As for a spare wheel I find that good tyres are fairly puncture proof. We have done many long touring trips without the spare in our Ulsteroid; we needed the wheel space for a few spare clothes and waterproofs. We did carry an aerosol puncture repairer but have not needed it in thousands of miles. You mentioned an RN type engine, but do you mean 3-speed or 4-speed?
