There are cheaper ways of dipping a toe in the racing water as it were than DD, but lets not rake over those old ashes.

Lily,
Wirelock oil filler plug, sump plug and oil filter.
Replace coolant with water.
Bellypan must have a couple of holes which must be taped up.
Remove sidestand or wirelock it in the up position.
That's basically it. PLEASE do tell if you're gonna do a race, I'll come and cheer you on/spanner for you

cheers Jen

Its all hypothetical at the moment, but trying to assess how easliy i could convert the bike as I would want it back to road spec after any possible races....

Easily peasily! Bear in mind that mine is back on the road at the mo

Headlight bolts in and out, I have a separate top fairing for the headlights in mode. It might be a good plan to have two seat units otherwise you'd need to leave the rear light in, but I note that yours doesn't have a standard rear lamp anyway. Number plate etc bolts on and off and thats it really. You'd just have to keep locking and unlocking your sidestand, or it's two bolts to take it on and off

it runs in full race bodywork all the time anyway and half the stuff is lockwired. from what i have seen only changes would be:

finish lockwiring
plug belly pan holes
change coolant
lock up sidestand!

No risk to yer road bike.

honestly... not very enthusiastic

i don't know which he is more concerned about me or the bike

I don't want to be a 'racer' but I would like to have a go if I improve this year. Fully aware that I will be last but its more about just having a go for me.

And before anyone says anything I can't afford DD or to buy another bike etc etc etc. If I do it, it will be one or at most two races and will be on the 998.

Probably not looking very likely for this year, but will see how things go.
