I treated my Swing to it's spring wash, polish & check-over (it normally just gets a quick wash once a fortnight)
Treated all the black plastic to a liberal coating of back to black, waxed the white bodywork, wire-brushed then painted the centre stand, albeit in situ (plan to remove it and do a more permanent job when god puts the heating on). I wire-brushed then coated the exhaust (again in situ for now), checked all the fluid levels, never seems to need oil or water) and the tyres - very pleased with it, scrubbed it well and looks nice and smart again.

I finally got to fit the top box to my 400 Burgman. Had to remove the OEM backrest, fit the mounting plate and finally the box. Largely went well without any major issue but learned a couple of things about sequence of actions should anyone be thinking of doing the same. When I have edited it I'll put some video up of the fitting.

Finally replaced the engine air filter in the Tmax. It took 12,000 miles until it needed it. That seems pretty good to me; how long has everyone else's filters gone before needing to be changed?

Put I small top box on the BV350, the existing grab rail has 3 drilled holes, I bid for and won a secondhand Piaggio badged Box for £10 and directly bolted it to the grab rail. Don't care that it cannot be taken off, it's fixed firmly.

Removed my seat bolster and took it to a local seat upholstery place for a bit of a shave.
