Welcome Hedgehog! Great looking 14R! Not to be all alarmist and everything but will that wheel chock and ratchet straps hold your bike up when you really do some heavy wrenching like on the axle nut or worse, the rear shock tie rods? I would get a rear spool stand (or I guess you guys say 'bobbins') when you can. ...or the Abba Stand which is really safe for wrenching and lifting. I even lifted mine off the spool stand once turning the axle nut. Fortunately I noticed it in time and let it drop back into place. The clutch hub nut is another beast to break loose. I was really careful about what angle I was applying leverage. ...of course a lot of people use an impact which is a lot safer. I used a 24" breaker bar when necessary.

Can't wait to see the CT on there. Excellent choice! You Brits have some pretty strict noise level laws, right? You must have a noise reduction baffle if you're riding on the street.

Thanks for the welcome !
The wheel chock is actually bolted to the ramp. There's a mounting plate that bolts to the ramp and the chock bolts to the plate.
I can ride the bike on to the ramp and in to the chock then get off the bike and it stays put. Also use an Abba Stand for the heavier work..

The Brocks CT looks like its stunning quality, can't wait to get it fitted. We do have an annual test over here which the bike can fail on noise. Its at the testers discretion. If its really loud the cops will pull you over , if its not to bad they tend to let it go. Cops seem to be more interested in illegally spaced licence plates with small letters or numbers here in England.

I'm going to do a installation video for my YouTube Channel which should be fun.

Cool. Make sure you weigh the whole system before installing it. As far as quality, yeah those CTs sure do look top notch. I've heard the welds look a little unsubstantial on Brocks pipes but that is because the metal is so thin. That's racing stuff though, you sacrifice some strength for light weight. I'll take the light weight any day.
