Well, 6 months without updating this project but I still have it, you could start joking it's the longest I've ever owned a vehicle but I don't own it.
Essentially it's been rather uneventful other than about 2 months ago the whole of the inside of the exhaust colapsing to the point the engine wouldn't run, the bill for that with a few other bits was £250ish but thankfully it died at work which is 200 yards from a very friendly bike shop.
I found when I went away on holiday it fits nicely in my workshop for a tiny bit of extra security It also then prevents anything being removed from the workshop without removing the bike first.
And I can lock it to my incredibly sturdy work bench.
Other than that I've done nearly 4000 miles on it now and it only requires basic maintenance (here one of the regular chain greasing and tyre pressure checking sessions). Now the weather is nice (and having had a ride of a big bike) I'm tempted to pull my finger out and do my full bike licence before I buy a cummins.
