I lowsided mine today.... now i am buying new handlebat, motoslider, brake lever, etc....

 

watched with contempt as rain continued to fall on the all-weather cover.
alarm installation is being put off another day.

 

Watched the rain here also.

Put new Rear blinkers on yesterday

 

I put the TRE on my bike but didn't really feel a huge difference if anything at all taking it around the block, but I'm gonna ride it around in a little just to make sure.

 

You won't feel a "huge" difference......

 

rode her back into the garage @ work and shead a tear that we were gonna be seperated for ANOTHER weekend.

 

Checked tire pressure, chain slack, wheel alignment, oil, and just a once over for everything. hoping to make the ride to Southern Ohio tomorrow. Please rain hold off till Sunday or late night.

 

installed a Woodcraft rear brake pressure switch.

 

Who needs that crap!



More fabrication today.

 

Got stuck working late.........so........

I pulled the bike inside, bled the brakes and changed out the fluid.

Goodbye and good riddance to wooden spongey brakes!

 

You can say that again! Just flushed the fluid on my 08S and you would have thought the Tokikos were swapped out for 4 piston Brembos. Couldn't believe the difference in responsiveness.

Also installed the atre from Steve. This replaces pulled timing in 1-3 gears. Wow! 2500 rpms has pulling power!

Finally made it legal! (Inspected and registered.)

 

Rode to Malibu with a few ocmoto peeps.

Meet up spot.

Pit stop at 76 station on PCH and Sunset.

Need some gas?

At the Rock Store.

 

Nice pics man!

 

 

Those are seeeexxxxxy!!!!!!

 

Black chrome PC? Same color we just did my brothers track SV wheels

 

Pft! I wish! What you see there one day of paint stipper, three days of elbow grease, sandpaper, polish, and a can of Duplicolor wheel coating.

 

Removed forks from bike, hung forks overnight to drain all the 20wt oil. Switched my Race Tech emulators for a set of Ricor Intiminators & 5wt oil. I was skeptical about them but they are much better than emulators. Wheel stability in turns makes riding on the street fun again.

Now I'm not going to do a 43mm R6 fork swap. Would 100% recommend these valves.

 

Have you considered doing a full-on review and posting it somewhere in the forums? I am sure lots of people would find this sort of information useful.

 

I just "googled" them.... very interesting idea.
$300!
Of course that is cheaper and easier then a GSXR front end....but you still have the crappy SV brakes.

Ricor Intiminators

 

They are currently 50% off. They are also a new site sponsor. See this thread for the 50% off details.

WOW! Thanks....I might just have to get some of those! I really like the idea and from what I read it's a well thought out product....but the price had a bit of a pucker! Not anymore! Thanks!

 

I went to the Triumph demo day at Ducati / Triumph in Brea.

I rode the Truxton and t100, I really liked the Truxton.

This is the new Thunderbird, no other dealer has one right now (1600 parallel twin). Wanted the Triumph girl to sit on the bike for a picture, instead I got this:

And a hug!

 

Eddie, I wanna be just like you when I grow up.

 

I met up with some Sv guys in Canton today. We went for a nice ride and had a good time. Total mileage for me was 368 miles round trip. By far my single longest one day ride for this season. Hopefully I will get many more to go along with it.

 

Buddy came by to pickup a K&N for his Busa. We went for a rip around town, and went home!

 

Did a 14.5 K valve check , oil and filter change, TB syncro check while in there, Cleaned and lubed the chain, and put a bt 021 on the rear.

 

Thanks for the reminder I have to get the Carbs cleaned as well

 

Well seeings that my newly accuired 2002 needs a little TLC I gave her some LOVE. Recovered the front and rear seats, Installed a new rear rotor, Installed new brake pads all the way around, and Installed my new RoadLoK. Tomorrow is Fluids day for her oil and brake fluids will get replace.

 

Went to the HB doughnut shop, then headed to the canyons but the roads I usually take were blocked off for a race / marathon.

Came home, changed oil and air filter instead.

 

 

I finally installed my home-made clear clutch cover. (needed oil changed anyway)

I sort of wish I had sprung for the fancy retainers and bolts in the group buy, it looks sort of plain and cheap inside. Oh well, here it is anyway....

 

Well done. Came out very nice indeed.

 

Removed the centerstand.

 

Bike is currently being ridden by someone other than me.
