oh it turns out it dead easy to do matt but what ever you do dont post it on here as some dont want you to, and some will think you thread is all about you !!!!!

50% on here hate me whichever way mine build goes lol

As you claim to come from a car customisation background I'm amazed that you are surprised by the comments. It suggests that perhaps your background is in relatively new cars. Just go onto a classic car forum and describe how you've taken a restorable classic and chopped it. Then come back here to bask in the mild commentary.

There is rarely an issue in taking something beyond restoration and chopping it, unless it really is rare. But despite the fact that you have access to a pool of potential bikes, that pool gets smaller every year, and the number of bikes made by British builders is a smaller part of that.

It would be good if you have indeed listened to the thrust of what people have been saying and take that into consideration in future. Yeah, things could be welded back again, but then it's only original once and good luck in finding the same fittings.
