Just a quick update, I have freed the clutch, so all good there, the tank is back and I will have to tap the thread where the fuel taps go as the sealant has managed to fill them. anyone know what thread this is?

Surprised they didn't plug the threaded p/tap hole, I believe the thread is 1/4" BSP ( gas).

Apparently they did, but say when they the sealant out, they use the fuel tap holes. They normally do Triumphs, which are 3/8, which they tap once the sealant has gone off.
