I guess you need to be strong and courageous (tattoo) to pull off the yellow. :-) I noticed the clear perspex at the bottom of the windscreen. Is this to demist the windscreen?

One way to find out about the yellow Wink yes, it helps for more direct airflow on the screen.

Stripped the motor of its ancillaries and gave it another good clean in preparation for paint :

Need to replace the seals and some gaskets at some point as well.

What Charlie was waiting for..
Good to see quality bits being added as usual and that you're looking at everything.
Hat off to your attention to detail
