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.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

I saw the thread about steering dampers last week and decided to try it.
http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=93527&highlight=steering+damper
Got a 05-06 GSXR stock damper locally and bought one of the fork clamps shown in the thread, but the seller's being a weasel about the sale (selling stuff he doesn't physically have). So after almost 2 weeks of waiting, I decided that I'd make my own fork bracket. I figure I can rig something up to the lower triple. Here are some pics:

It's nice to have a whole bunch of assorted scrap stainless stuff at my disposal (angles, sheets, etc).
I'm making good use this rainy weather.

2006 SV650S (with full fairing)
- removed damaged lower fairing (so uh... no more full fairing)
- removed stock damaged frame sliders (don't wait to replace them, they're junk, particularly the curved bracket design)
- disassembled the rear cowl
- disconnected all tail lights and turn signals
- removed brake light
- sawed the rear mudguard off
- removed stock rearsets
- installed Woodcraft frame sliders
- installed Woodcraft rearset brackets, realized I needed to shorten the rear brake reservoir hose to properly mount the rear master cylinder, also needed Loctite for the screws on the new Woodcraft pedals and a 3mm (?) allen wrench for the front cowl, so I called it a day

Set out the snake skins and heated grips that I STILL haven't installed. Thought about putting them on.
Stepped outside into the 60 degree weather.
Decided to put them away and take her for a spin!
Anyone have a tank bra over their snake skins? I prefer the look for the bra, but want the skins for the track.

I made a beautiful naked first gen guage set out of two completely jacked up ones. Tested it on my wifes SV to make sure it was all happy, and then put it in the garage cabinet. It is awaiting installation in the SV I am putting together from two completely jacked up ones!
Gonna be sweet, then the "parts" bike will eventually end up being built up as a track only beast.

Over the weekend I installed the Hamicad Fender eliminator, K&N Air Filter, and Power Commander. Now I just need spring to come so I can test the results of the Power Commander Tune I loaded. I will let you know.
