Fitted this in the end, just need to bolt link pipe back on as unsecure and then weld 2 small flat bars from side of subframe to retain link pipe and silencer. I think it looks OK, it's lightweight compact and road legal.
It's not to low down to cause hassle and not to high up to interfere with soft luggage or ear drums

It's starting to come along now, hopefully all welding and grinding complete this weekend.
Putting flat bar welded to side brackets on frame like this one and will put rubber heat resistant damping washers to allow a little flex on silencer and link pipe so it won't crack welds on frame/side
brackets

Not to much progress as hoped.
Well decided after threading a stud in front lug that holds the side tank that idea was not suitable as stud snapped while overtighting it which if I was going to weld stud in would not be good if snapped. Will just drill hole for stud/bolt and if ever snaps have spare with me. Side tanks are secured via 3 connections so pretty secure still if one snapped
Went for angle bar sides

Will need to trim once I drill hole so it will not fret on tank

Exhaust brackets over engineered I think but at least should not break

That's all the welding on the frame completed, just need to tidy up the welds and drill holes where required and trim up with grinder a few areas. Hopefully should get subframe and fairing sprayed end of week
