Has anybody any experience of fitting a er5 motor in place of the kle? physically no problem I guess, but what do I need to change on the electrical side? I know I am a pain in the rear end but don't want to scrap the bike. All usful suggestions concidered.

I agree with the last post; I can't see how that driving cog can be out of alignment because you have not changed it while doing your work (or have you?) - how are you so sure that is the case when you don't know how it is fixed in place?
Anyway, the important point is that the sets of timing marks are in alignment and the camshafts (plural - I guess you have two sets for a twin) are also aligned.
I did a similar job on a single cyl and the bike would not start when it was all back together - this turned out to be caused by me pulling the spark plug lead off so many times; even though there was a spark, it was not a strong one I guess (but it was visible in "shaded" light). Once I remade the connection of the lead to the spark plug cap and back to the coil it fired up.
