Heres a further update
Now trying to sort the front end out and more trial and error
And im quite pleased how its sitting and looking
Not to sure if im going to use the headset/cover ??
Ive been fighting to get the loop and other thing to line up with the tube from the start, id get one part straight and another area was off. The more i looked at it, and eyed it up, i had a suspicion that the tube was bent
So a trip up to Gran Sport and on their jig, and the conclusion was that the tube was quite severely bent, from infront of the stand strut
looks like it had had a smack from the l/h side, pushing the tube to the right and the steering column to the left 
Not an easy repair, but can be done .
Im now just waiting to get it back, before i can do anymore.

Mr Fandango. If you need a frame straightening in future I have a friend in Tewksbury who has a frame jig and could probably sort you out. He's done a couple for me.

Well its been a while , i got the frame back about three weeks ago, but then my panel beater/fabricator went AWOL and i haven't been able to get hold of him So there was no option, but to get the MIG out and have ago myself .....well whats the worse that can happen ?....... and ive got a grinder to "adjust" any mistakes !
WARNING ! if your a Welder, and of a "nervous disposition" you may want to look away now !
So the first job was to weld up the cut out for the shocker.
Next was a back light, i had an LED light so just needed a housing for it.
Cut out.
And welded it
Ive shaped it a little , but not finished yet
Next up was a cut out for the kickstart, cut out and rolled under.
