Just checked insurance. Well, tried to, two comparison sites were unable to quote!
This will be a looooong project.
Interesting! I'll have to look into that! Thanks!
The problem I'm having is that the insurers throw a wobbly when I declare all the mods!!

Comparison sites will mate, you won't stand a chance on them. Only way to do it will be through phoning people up, and even then there's a very few insurance companies that will accept modified bikes like that.
Carole Nash do a streetfighter insurance where you basically say what you have, what you want it to be covered for (as in value of the bike), and they sort it - but there's minimum age requirements.
I did manage to get my Ninja insured through them and that wasn't standard by a long shot, but it wasn't structural work which is what will throw them off for you - I had a later model ZX9R swingarm on mine that bolted right in, they said as it was an OE part and could be used as replacement it was okay. Then I had a set of USD forks on mine, but I just told them it had modified suspension and brakes, and they were okay with it. That said, I am a bit older than you I think, and did have 4 years no claims. Couldn't get a similar thing done this year with them though as their underwriters had changed
Realistically, you are really, really going to struggle at your age, with an accident, and extremely highly modified bike - to the point where I suspect you may not actually be able to get it insured at all until you're older!
