Yellow is a magnet for flies.
I had a bright yellow motorbike once and was coming back from Thruxton one Summer's evening with two friends.
One bike red and white, one bike bright green and mine; on getting back to Exeter, my yellow bike had approximately twice the amount of dead flies on the fairing, in comparison with the other two.
Nasty

Yellow is a magnet for flies. Does that apply to Yellow Submarines as well?

Apparently a Fly can deflect away from an oncoming missile (car) if it is not exceeding 53mph!!!!!!!

Now what is the last thing to go through a Flys mind as it hits your car ?

And here's the cover for the main cable grommet. An offcut of aluminium, with a neoprene curtain. And with an extra grommet around the steering column.


And here's the mods to the header strip. A circular section of neoprene with a 3mm strip below. Lets see how this goes!

Post Photobucket Re-Boot.

The first bonus, post-Scotland was to find that no water got under my shield into the cam covers and plug holes.

Here's how Mr Bumble looked when we arrived home........
The flies were thicker than they look in the photos.





We had some leaking through the bulkhead. Here I've added a neoprene washer under the plastic cable clip.
Around the throttle cable, there's a large hole through the bulkhead, which has been discussed before. Here I've fitted a U shaped aluminium shield edged with neoprene at both ends.
I've also pushed a small piece of neoprene into the open corner edge on the bulkhead, which is just visible.



The next job was just my OCD emerging. The drivers side carpet was quite scruffy after the trip. When you fit an organ throttle pedal the carpet has to be cut around the base and this leaves it untidy. I strengthened the rear at the time with some silver gaffer tape, but now was the time to sort it.
Here it is 'as was'.



And now with extra leather edging, and the rear strengthened with leather. I also removed the scruffy rubber heel mat, and replaced it with a new offcut, held in place with four soft top fasteners so it can be taken off for cleaning.



And here's the cover for the main cable grommet. An offcut of aluminium, with a neoprene curtain. And with an extra grommet around the steering column.



And here's the mods to the header strip. A circular section of neoprene with a 3mm strip below. Lets see how this goes!
