Washed, Waxed, and started devising a 'fix' for my scratched up seat cowl.

 

I looked longingly at my SV, as I loaded the golf clubs into the back of the SUV, & left for work.

 

It seems we have more than just a few golfers on this forum...yippee!

 

Replaced the rubber brake lines with Galfer SS lines, Put everything back together after getting my parts back from being painted, checked and oiled the chains, put air in the tires, replaced the battery and took it for the first ride of the year.

 

midsouth rally this past weekend. around 2k miles of riding if not more.

 

Any pictures of that event?

EDIT. nevermind I found it!

 

I finally washed it.

 

Installed my EBAY pegs...

BEFORE:

AFTER:

 

I had to redo my turnsignals that I installed Saturday. Why? Because I am an idiot. I didn't pay attention to the drain holes, and realized today that I had installed two of them facing up. Perfect for catching and holding just enough water to blow the bulbs. I had also apparently tightened one of the ones I installed correctly too tight and caused a short and intermittent operation.

A little re-cutting, re-soldering, re-shrink wrapping later, all is right with the world. This time, I just tightened with my fingers with healthy dollops of loctite.

BTW, shrink wrap is the greatest stuff in the world. I'm so happy those aliens had some aboard their craft when they crashed in New Mexico.

 

Pressed stem into custom trip mounts - prepped forks - got a bunch of other things ready for roller mode.

 

redid the wiring on one of my new front turn signals. the connectors were not up to par and i had to redo them with others and shrink wrap and all that jazz. they work flawlessly now!

 

Not today, but Sunday actually....

fitted a Two Brothers M2 can to it....

 

I rode her a bit, not much. Tomorrow will be better.

 

Told her I loved her as I got into my car to ride to work for the first time in months....such a sad dreary day....

 

Rode to the HB doughnut shop, was going to go to the suzi dealer to pick up the side panel bolts and a couple of my ocmoto friends pull up.



Freddie and Tom are riding up to LB so I tagged along. As we were going we stopped by West Coast Choppers.









Then went to eat lunch. I went home, will get the bolts tomorrow.

 

Installed my Delkevic Slip-on! What a bargain! Sounds awesome! $150...

 

Started final assembly of the bike

 

- put on my lower fairings
- installed fender eliminator kit.
yay!

 

A couple of weeks ago I installed a set of Heaterz heated grips running through a Fuzeblock relay/fuse assembly (I have a half hour commute and it's been in the 30's when I go to work in the morning).

Unfortunately, the Heaterz controller has a low-voltage shutoff and I guess my battery must be getting old because the shutoff trips on cold days! It kinda defeats the purpose.... and it seems crazy to replace an otherwise OK battery just to get the grip heaters working on really cold days.

The Fuzeblock is really nice!

 

and it seems crazy to replace an otherwise OK battery just to get the grip heaters working on really cold days.

Those grip warmers should not draw enough current to pull down your voltage like that. I doubt your battery is the issue - I think you want to put a good MOSFET R/R on there.

See Post #3 in this thread.

 

Just changed the oil and filter. Swore at the right driving light. Now I got the left one straightened out, the other one is acting up. :cussing:

 

Rode 100 miles in and around Cleveland, Ohio. Took some nice pictures. Will be posting them in the been riding lets see thread. Great afternoon in the city.

 

Called the dealer on my grips I ordered last week. Said they'd be in today when I ordered and paid for them. Guy told me they weren't in yet. So, I asked if he knew when they would be. His response, "I don't know, they might be backordered or something." WTF?! How are you gonna order parts for a customer, then have no idea when they'll be in, or what the order status is? Idiots.

 

Installed my Matris steering damper today. Wow, what a difference!

 

purchased some motosliders from sv racing parts... i hear they work wonders

 

well i didnt do anything to it today however she was in the garage when dad dropped a screw driver and it nicked up my new M4 exhaust. So now i am debating on what i can do. being a perfectionist i may buy a new M4 stainless standard slip on and put the nicked up one up for sale. best part is i have only had the exhaust on for a week! I have to get 25 posts so I can put the M4 up for sale!

heres to one more post closer to being able to sell an item on the forum

 

Rode to the HB doughnut shop, Then went to OTD to pick up the side panel bolts. I usually turn on the 2nd driveway, this time I went up the 1st driveway and wasn't using any brakes and almost ended up in the planter, lol.

On my way home I took a picture:



Anyone looking for a millitary 4x4, it has new tires - only $9800. And it's a convertible.

And Hi to the yellow SV with yellow radiator panels I saw on Edinger Ave!

:hello:

He also belongs to SVR and ocmoto. ;D
