What did you do on or to your other bike part 2
Got home from a trade show yesterday, and the Givi rack for my new-to-me '18 NC750X was waiting for me. Put it on, and dusted off my V47 top box. 
Funny thing, I had migrated to boxes that are more old-school looking to match my CB1100, Bonneville and Interceptor. Somehow, the modern, techy-looking V47 just doesn't fit the character of those bikes. But, I figured someday I'd buy a more modern-looking bike like an NC, so I held on to it, and it's a perfect fit for this bike. 

I'm sorting out the bike, and have changed out all of the fluids. When I asked the owner when the last time the oil was changed, he said "500 miles ago", but he only put 500 miles on the bike since he bought it over a year ago, so even though the oil looked clean, I didn't know how long it had been in there. Besides, the bike had the dreaded K&N 204 oil filter, known to leak. 

Cleaning it up, touching up a few spots, and trying to reverse a rear lowering kit that was installed by the original owner before the guy I bought it from. Just need a few more parts to get that sorted, and thanks to Ferret, who I am now also trading messages with over at the NC700X forum. So far, haven't had much time to ride it yet due to travel, but I made a quick run to the post office to mail some Christmas cards at lunch. 

So, if Ferret has Angry Bird, what's this one going to be? So far I don't think it's angry, but ya never know...

You know what? I actually would like a pickle.
