That sure does look nice, get it wrapped and in the loft, god knows how many bike bits there are in lofts around the country though.

The silencers and collectors particularly,  rot from the inside after being used.

You'll need to find some way of mitigation for them internally to make sure of best preservation.

Maybe something like two stroke oil sloshed around them to coat the structure.

It looks in amazing condition for 40+ years old. The clamp between the silencer and the collector box is mounted upside down, the bolts should be at the bottom.

That is just how mine looked when I got the bike and in 2 years and 11,000mls it had rotted through on the collector. So I had to do a repair to extend its life a little longer.
