Need some general advise for llandow, am prepping bike today, removing mirrors, quick service etc.
Light taping? Do they all need to be taped, tail indicators and headlights?
Or should I just remove indicator?

Remove mirrors and rear number plate. Check all fluids to correct level inspect brake pads and tyres don't bother to check pressures as you will do that on the day and you will running much lower pressures than normal anyway. Up to you whether to remove anything else like indicators personally I wouldn't bother and I wouldn't tape headlamps they are plastic lens these days
You might consider taping over the speedo so its not a distraction and you will probably be only doing 100mph Max anyway.

You dont NEED to do anything apart from ensure everything is in a good road worthy condition, things like tyres/brakes will get more abuse. You will want adjust the tyre pressures, 30/30 is always a good solid pressure in dry conditions.
Stuff like removing or taping mirrors/headlights/brakelights/indicators is only useful if you either way the bike to look more of a 'race bike' or save a few quid if you crash.
