Hit the black plastic with meguiars back to black. Made it look all purdy again. Not bad considering it sits outside uncovered for more time than i care to admit.

Thank you, it fits like a glove, the company did a great job. Cost $113 from a seller on eBay. You pick all your own colors, I think red stitching would have been the icing on the cake.

Got out Saturday, but on a little under 200 miles just riding about. Stopped in the middle at GoodWood Brewery for a quick refresher, then headed out the long way to Long Run Park to meet up with a friend of mine so we could test out some of the Active Track capability of our drones. He has the new DJI Phantom 4 Pro and I have the new DJI Mavic Pro. It was fun, and somewhat surreal.
Here is a quick cut of some of the shots. Top speed we flew (rode) was about 22 mph.

Back late yesterday from 3 day trip to vicinity Maggie Valley, NC. Just short of 800 miles for the trip. Went over to Gatlinburg also to see recovery from the fires. Saw a small black bear. Suspension is much improved over trip last year to the Helen, GA area with MSTA. RaceTech springs and Sachs shock are a definite improvement; as simple as they may be. The NC performed very well. Saw one other NC the entire time; in Cherokee on Sunday.

Took an hour long ride over to my (hopefully) soon-to-be home and back, to get an idea of how difficult it'd be and how long it'd take if not on the interstate. Going to need some sunglasses for sure...or a new helmet with a flip-down sun visor. 
Sun will be in my eyes otw to work for sure, and on the way back if I don't go straight home.

New K&N Air Filter.
Gutted! The service manual says you have to remove the windshield, the meter stay etc etc to get the top cover plastic ring thingy out, but you don't.
10,000 miles. Lotsa bugs, grass and other crap in the folds that's not easy to see on camera. Blackened a bit too, wonder what that's from? Probably still ok but I went to all the trouble above, so it's being replaced. Stock has this screen. K&N does not.
Old vs New:
Helps to have the right tools:
Any ideas what this is for?
All pinned back up:
Can't ride because it's cold and rainy.

This is the backfire screen, in case anyone's wondering. Could remove for increased airflow...at the risk of your filter catching fire. More likely with a paper filter, not sure how well cotton filters handle it.10,000 miles. Lotsa bugs, grass and other crap in the folds that's not easy to see on camera.

Looks like maybe where a switch or plug could go, but I couldn't say for sure...don't think my bike has that piece.

That's the ejector button, don't press it while riding...

Finally got my REAL license plate. Took the dealership 50 days to send me my title after I bought the bike cash. I think they just forgot to submit the paperwork.
But it's funny how people treat a bike with a temp tag... I've been riding for 30 years and I was getting the "OH Spring - new bike - new rider" looks and I HATE THAT.
So happy to have tin instead of paper on the back.

Just out of curiosity, and I'm not intending to start a debate, why did you install a K&N air filter instead of OEM?
I wanted to see if it makes a difference in performance with it's (theoretically) higher flow rate, plus it's reusable, cotton vs paper etc...
I like to see if I can beat my MPG records (avg 64) on Fuelly too...
The reviews seemed pretty solid too:
K&N HA-7012 Replacement Air Filter, Replacement Filters
This the one I got:

Safety wired the oil filler cap since I can't trust anyone anymore at school.
Don't want any stuff getting into the crankcase so it's easier to see when the bike is sabotaged.

Pushed it a few hundred yards. Thought I could make it to the next town for gas. Made it to the town, but not all the way to the gas station. Low mileage riding hard and Madstadd still in full up position form riding in major rain previous day.
Found out my gas tank from empty only holds 3.63 gallons. Should go after Honda for false advertising as another 0.07 gallon would have taken me that few hundred yards.
And O.C.R., you are wrong. I didn't meet any nice people pushing my NC that few hundred yards.

I've put over 3.7 gallons in mine before. Kind of makes you wonder if the gas pumps are calibrated correctly doesn't it. I do carry 3 30 oz. gas containers as a backup though.

This. I've found a couple around town that are highly suspect.
When I'm not sure there will be lots of miles between service or don't feel like topping off before I leave town, I throw a Rotopax 1-gallon in my H&B Junior55.

Does it have part number you can look up?New K&N Air Filter.
Snipped..

Looks like a blank for an optional switch. Maybe the option switches for the AT would fit in that spot on a '16-'17 NC.
Like maybe this fog fog light switch:
