Just thought this would be a cool new topic. If there is already one in existence please let me know so I can delete this one, or a mod can do it. As for me I finished my under tail project and rode the crap out of it.
Replaced fork seals w/Race Tech seals, and refilled forks with 20w oil. Replaced rear Pilot Power. Replacing stock exhaust can with my new Delkevic standard s/o later this afternoon.

Last night I put the grab rail and pass seat on. Put my bar end mirrors on and adjusted them. Today I put my tail bag on so I can carry stuff to and from work
Add some reflective tape so I can be seen a little better. Adjusted the chain AGAIN, me thinks it's time to start looking for chain and sprockets. Bought some PIAA super white H4 bulbs
today I installed 04/05 750 forks, and rear shock. I still need to install an R6 08 rear tail, and renthal bars. I just need to mod the subframe to fit the tail. Maybe in another 2 weeks I will rolling mobbing the streets.
Changed oil / filter with Motul 300v and a K&N Filter, performed a snorkelectomy transplant with Suzuki Motor Corp providing an SV1000 snorkel as a donor install successful, Installed K&N air filter, rerouted Ian's ATre wires, and cleaned and lubed the chain after giving her a bath.
Rode to a big Bike Night and on the way home I made a stop to take a picture of the full moon.
Come to find out one of my kick stand bolts fell out. Not a big deal, bike didn't fall over or anything like that. I just zip tied it up to close the the switch and rode home.
If anyone happens to have a extra stand bolt I would be more than happy to give you a couple bucks for it. If not I'll go find on somewhere tomorrow.
After applying massive amounts of painter's tape to the fuel tank to hold a 2ft piece of flat metal stock very still near the fairing to indicate my delta of movement of the headlight fairing, I stood my SV between a light pole and a massive tree in my yard, hooked a ratcheting tie-down strap to the frame on the left side and a series of similar straps to the headlight fairing subframe and ratcheted away. I was only able to tweak it back approximately a half inch and the ratchets seemed like they were at their limit. That mother is strong! I can't believe it got bent in the accident.
I installed my Delkevic standard exhaust yesterday evening, and rode it with the db killer in. This morning I pulled the restrictor out, blocked off the PAIR valve, removed the airbox cover, and secured the air filter in place using 2 of the airbox screws and a length of safety wire across the top. Full racebike sound, with no backfiring. No perceivable loss of power either.
Oh yeah, I also replaced the burnt out bulb above my license plate.
I won an auction on ebay for a new windscreen from Hong Kong. Paid $0.10 for it, but shipping costs $30.00. I really just want to use it for practice - I want to cut it down so it is no taller than the highest point of plastic on the fairing. If I fack it up, it's no great loss. If I somehow manage to get it right, WHOO HOO!
