Hey Jules, (almost a Beatle song),
Interesting project. I like the V-strom too, allthough I have to say the 650 runs more smoothly than the 1000, but I understand your need for more power
Some silly questions

:
What kind of bike, (with the damaged frame) is standing behind the V-Strom, or am I just imagening that?
What do you think? What kind of frame has the V-Strom? Alumina? Or is it fake. I never really looked at it. A lot of professional rig-builders are afraid to construct anything with a frame like that. I know getting it on the road, will not be a great problem in the UK, since a lot of kit-cars for example, built up in the Netherlands, first go to the UK to get their European papers and then get easily through inspection in the Netherlands.
Nice welding though. I won't say anything about the "sharp edges", since I'm clear, you've just started
Have a lot of fun and keep posting your pictures, since (you allready might have noticed) we are very interested.
