Dapper, don't be embarrassed. You haven't seen my rear wheel holder.
I think, we're genuinely interested in your piece of work mate.

Dapper a must for doin any distance on the continent is a bottle of octane booster the fuel abroad can sometimes let you down i know this due to boppin a piston on the way home from Germany in 07 this was due to fuel which was sold as 95 ron but i believe was in fact 91 ron if you get any picking at all after a fill use the octane booster and back off the throttle until you can refuel. The Diablo tank is fantastic and on my TS will give me about 2 1/2 hours between refills however my backside wont last that long even with an airhawk harley seat Also by refuelling every hour or so if you take on crap fuel it gets diluted with the good stuff still remaining in the long range tank. Good luck mate have a gooden

I've fitted the Diablo tank & a Camlam rear exit tap.
Took it for a blast down the motorway 50 mile round trip at 60+mph on a champion N3, Chocolate brown plug on returning.
Used over 5L of fuel
Bogging down/missing a little at full throttle, could be that the larger tank is reducing the volume, air flow & less area for the filter.
May drop a smaller jet in tomorrow give it a choke test & check plug again.
