Many thanks all.
I agree 5/8" does seem a lot - it equates to 42 degrees or so but I'll try it at that and see how it goes. Possibly after breaking my ankle......
The plug issue came to light when I bought one from the Green Sparkplug Co, which was short reach which I wasn't expecting and then checked in the manuals. I have a suitable long reach item to use. There was a thread in the NOC forum but it petered out with no firm conclusions.
I'm taking my time over this (and holidays and enjoying good riding weather keep intervening) so it will be a while before I can show any improved photos. This is the tank (before and after) which I painted and lined during the winter. I have fixed the slight bleeding of the lines!
