1. im 80% sure that a cat B can never go back on the road. I think it can only be stripped of parts then crushed
2. No, do it the other way around. A Category B is a vehicle from which spare parts may be salvaged, but the vehicle itself should be crushed and should never return to the road.
3. You can't put a cat B back on the road. Economic write-off's are either cat C or D. My broker explained all this to me very well a few weeks back. Now i am the owner of a cat C write-off. If the frame is ok on your bike i suggest you strip the write-off and do it the other way around like Colin said.
4. Yes you can cannabilised from the B loss and get an MOT I
