More oil in the system will mean that the oil will run cooler, which is a good thing? You can also fit a thermostat to control the flow through the oil cooler to ensure the oil is hot enough! I don’t think excess crankcase pressure which can lead oil leaks is too much of an issue with airheads although someone may know otherwise.
Exhaust cat and tail pipe bolted back on and rear wiring harness
I think it's a collector box you are referring to when you say "cat"
They look the same as those on my 100GS (but in rather better condition!)
I seem to remember the left hand one was thinner to balance the width. They certainly were on my G/S.

Actually no, mine don't have that locking arrangement. The locks on mine are flush with the clasp. I think yours may be a later model but should be a bit more robust / secure.

When I worked at BMW, on the 'car' side. I seem to remember the bulkier locks arrived with the introduction of the 'K' models. Prior to that they had those silly little locks that were fiddly to get the keys into.
Locks are correct for a K reg, same as my 1992 panniers except that the exhaust side one should be narrower to give a balanced profile.
