Slow Monster rebuild

One downside from today was that I ventured to sit on the bike whilst on the stand/ bike lift. This is the first time I have had the opportunity to sit on it since it got dismantled all those years ago.
It soon became very evident that the footrest hangers will have to be re-made to lower them (c 25mm) and move them rearwards (also by 25mm).
On the gear lever side I will have to spacer them out by about 10mm to clear the swinging arm and re-make a longer gear shift rod. On the brake side I have to be very careful of the alignment and distance between the pedal actuator and the rear brake master cylinder and the mounting point for the exhaust hanger and also probably lengthen the pipe between the master cylinder reservoir and the master cylinder.
