Big thanks for all the invaluable advice from everyone in here!!
The project is now complete with the old girl MOTd and back on the road.
I just had to sell the 1200S before I could get this over the line. I was sad to too the 1200S go and I wasn’t sure if I’d made the right decision. But getting through the mot today and hearing that engine and exhaust again singing like they should put a massive smile on my face.
Thanks again everyone for your input along the way
