Is that aluminium shield a part for sale somewhere, or something you made yourself?
Started this afternoon with the front brakes, as I'd noticed /something/ was dragging when rolling it into the shed yesterday. Both calipers had the usual layer of dirt on the pistons, most of it came off easily. There's minimal pitting (as far as I can see) on only some of the pistons. Front brakes are still binding (mainly the left one I think), so a new set of seals, maybe some pistons and a proper rebuild of the calipers will be in the near future.
Sat down to take the sprocket cover off, but then decided it was time for a break, but not before noticing the center stand being rather crusty and some surface rust on the frame where it attaches, will have to get that all cleaned up soon
