Well, she's starting to come back together again...
Now the pipes are back on, I was planning on filling the new braided brake lines, but found that the tubes on the vacuum bleeder kit I'd bought were too big to fit on the bleed valves!
Fortunately (after a bit of digging around) I found the one-way valve bleed kit I'd used previously which did have a pipe of the right size, but for some reason there was air leaking from *after* the one-way valve, so it wasn't going back into the system, but did make it a much longer and slower process because I couldn't get a good vacuum.
Still, at least I got all the electrics connected up again and she runs now :thumbup
Oh, PS I'm not going for the naked look, I just haven't put the fairings back on again after repainting the front support bracket! Also I may actually leave them off until after I've installed the Hyperpro fork springs...
