I adjusted the idle and balanced the carbs today (having checked the valve clearances on Monday) and the engine is a lot smoother despite only being 3cm HG out. I found that I did not have to take the fuel tank off to do this. I know some people say they can balance the carbs with the fuel in the bowl but I was able to keep the fuel tank connected but turn it through 90 degrees so that it was riding side saddle. It was easy!

That does sound eminently possible, espeically if you obtained a longer fuel hose than the standard one.
One word of warning, especially to those with shiney/well looked after/nice bikes (unlike mine!) - fuel tanks have a nasty habit of denting easily and the bottom is often not very flat, so while it is perched on top of your bike there is a certain chance of knocking it off and causing an annoying dent/leak....
For those of you who aren't as incompetant as me, seems like a good idea :)
