As we have establisged the E does not have an adjustable head angle what else do I need to llok at changing to make this a suitable road / track bike?

The 853 should still go on. I've used St4 head gaskets so the coolant and oil galleries must line up OK.
If that's the case then head off the Rs etc. should also be interchangeable. Would need checking to be 100%.
The adjustbale head angle isn't the be all and end all IMO. I've tried the sharp angle on mine and couldn't get on with it. Increased rear ride height works for me.............
