Love to see some pics and a ride report at the end

Well, job done and much thanks to Delpel for his thread and pics. How I did it for my bike was as follows:
Preparation. Make sure that you have all of the parts you need or (like me) order them as you go along. The parts I needed were:
a. Conventional front brake switch (non-ABS)
b. Conventional rear brake switch (non ABS)
c. Front hydraulic brake distribution unit (union) (non ABS)
d. DOT 4 Brake fluid
e. Brake bleeding kit
f. Wiring, connectors, soldering iron and solder
g. Circuit tester
h. Big bag of tools
Total cost of BMW parts was £89 and got these from Motorworks. Have your chassis number when you call.
Wiring etc cost about £8 from Maplin. Rest I already had.
I removed the seat, petrol tank and tool box in order to get ready access to wiring looms.
1. Rear Brake Hydraulics. This was simple. I disconnected the rear pipe and connected it directly onto the master cylinder. Bled the brakes and that was it - job done (pic 1)
2. Next step was to remove the rear brake switch which is situated behind the RH footpeg (pic 2)
3. The front brake switch also needs to be removed from beneath the RH grip (pic3)
4. Eventually (but not yet) the faulty unit will be removed (pic 4)
5. And this distribution piece will be replaced with a non ABS part (pic 5) - to be continued
