Tried out a rear paddock stand. Seems to work just fine.
Maybe I will be more diligent about lubing the chain now.

Brakes started feeling soft on my ride home, a post ride inspection reveled a leaking fork, putting oil into my front brake. Looking into ordering the parts now. I was going to change the fork oil in a week (along with a lot of other maintenance work) anyway so at least there's that. Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated
Yeah I'm shopping for some gators, I'm looking for some flat black not glossy ones but yeah going for maximum protectionWhen you do get a new seal on the fork, I'd suggest the Triumph fork protector shields http://nc700-forum.com/forum/nc700-mods/5977-fork-seal-protectors.html, or better yet, some gaiters. I think many fork seal failures result from grit, nicks, or dried bugs on the fork sliders.

Today I ordered the proper '1146' GIVI kit items from motorstorm.it to bolt the trekker outback side cases to the NC750X. (same plastics NC700X)
This will replace my home-made bent steel mounts. I also ordered the Trekker top case in black to go with the silver side cases.
It should look pretty sweet on the 2016.
Someone was playing around with mounting them up front, on the frame by the radiator. I can't mount them anywhere else with my OEM luggageThe 1146 brackets worked out, but you need six hands to install them.
Here's a badly lighted garage pic:
I will have to figure out a different way to mount the tool tubes, but the proper brackets are more secure and clear the new 2016 back plastics...
Those are good looking boots. What is the brand?
Took Queenie on my rehab. weekly rides.
Currently up to about 200 miles per day. To much pain from the left knee after that distance. I am only at 105 degrees on the left knee. Lot slower healing than my right knee, that is now at 120 degress. To ride in comfort, put my left foot on the higway peg not the bike peg, that will take about 120 degrees of bend in the left knee. So, still need some more rehab. Good thing my AT is a DCT, as I can not ride my standard shift NC700X at this time.
