That's a very nice view from the saddle, Colin.

With only a mm of clearance at the tank, you might want to wind out the lock stops a fraction. The risers are rubber mounted and if you knock the bars while at full lock, there may be enough flex for the switches to hit the tank.

Oh, and make sure your clutch and brake are still firm before you test ride it - there's always a danger of getting air in the system if the master cylinders are left to dangle.

Thanks for the tip about the lock stops, I wasn't aware you could do that. Is it simple to do?

Very simple - it's just a screw and locknut each side. Just add a drop of threadlock when tightening up.
