rear brake reservoir fits to the original mount ,but there is the small matter of the brake light switch mount ?(thanks for reminding me Knack ) Tank mounts are going to be fabricated off the top engine mount i think , as i dont think the tank shroud mounts onto the rad will be sufficiant . Where did you get the pressure switch for the brakes ?

You have to do it on the road. Get as long a run at whatever throttle opening you are testing with the bike acceletating. Then turn off ignition and stop. Don't coast/slow down with the engine running if you can avoid it.
