Can you rent an engine lift in Shetland?
That would make it so much easier

It’s really just a matter of unplugging the electrical connections, exhaust off and then the engine mounting bolts, take lots of photos of where the connections are
Either a trolley jack or a scissor jack under the motor

The one I sent you a link to earlier has the throttle bodies etc on

FWIW After I bought my 8th gen I got rid of all my other bikes, eventually and the BMWs went first

Its fairly straightforward to drop the engine out, exhaust studs breaking are always a worry but this has good threads so an install would be a relatively trouble free solution

A cheap compression tester and endoscope are about £10 each from eBay, to me that’s money well spent

You’ll have to compression test it to see if it is the front cylinders, an endoscope down the plug hole would help with diagnosis, both are pretty cheap considering the work you are facing
What makes you think it’s the front cylinders?

For new pads they have a lot of scoring, compared to mine @37k
Have you spun the buttons on the discs?

The OEM Nissan pistons are rubbish, they rust and then the coating comes off tearing the seals
They could well be sticking on
I replaced mine with stainless steel from Powerhouse https://powerhouse.uk/motorcycle-brake-caliper-seal-kits/

This is all I could find
They had a couple of 89 bikes they broke, I’m not sure if this is correctly described

Sounds like the chain is balled up around the sprocket, I’m assuming you haven’t removed the cover

I rented a Triumph 800 Tiger in ‘18 for 2 weeks and rode it from San Francisco to the Canadian border and back through the Yakima Valley, the handling was OK, suspension was rubbish and the engine topped out @80 mph, it sounded like a bag of spanner’s starting from cold, it sounded like an electric motor riding it, 8/10

Maybe try a steering damper?

You don’t have to alter the frame, change the offset in the yokes, fairly simple to try

HEL do a build a line service, where you can either get them to build it to your specifications or you get a kit of fittings and pre cut lines

What brake lines do you have?

Now that is an original idea, extremely well executed, congratulations

These are 43-47, should be perfect
Where are you located?

Nobody using Airtech these days?

For 4 cylinders line bored that’s a good price
Does it include honing the bores? (The cross hatching pattern) -
In a word, No

A small back pack came for engine drilling, the machine was in the workshop for 3 months to get it drilled. Today I went to ask when it will be delivered, they had tried to drill it and stated that they couldn't do it. The lining of the cylinder was not very thick, and right at the beginning of the drilling, it was obvious that the material would become soft. Now we have to start asking if there is a workshop in all of Finland that can drill that. If you can't find a drill, another option is to pipe the cylinder. I think it's a bit sad, when the pistons (used) and new piston rings were also acquired, and also a connecting rod with cranks + new bearings for the machine.
I don’t understand WTF you are trying to do
The cylinders won’t be “drilled” they’ll be line bored
