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)

RT emulators, 0.90 Eibach springs (i'm 185#), 95mm spacers, 10wt oil, 120mm air gap, 3 1/2 turns preload - lovely. firm thru choppy corners, no wandering, feel the irregularities of the pavement but bumps are not harsh. just the right amount of front end dip on braking - no big dive. sharper directional control in low speed turns. shoulda done this a LONG time ago!
yesssss!

Henry/Reed bend. Had the right rise and less pullback than most. Just what I was looking for.

Went to the hardware store and bought some 1/2" neoprene spacers for the tank. Took the snorkel out of the stock air box. Bought longer bolts to hold the tank down. Checked the mail box to find my rear brake pads and the Dzus clips for the Sharkskinz, which are due at my house Monday. So I installed and bled the rear brakes.

I repaired the damage I did by being a total f*cktard and dropping it in the garage after installing the my low-tone freeway blaster and relay last month (I was gone for 3 weeks). New glass in the left CRG mirror, and replaced the snapped clutch lever and brake lever with some Pazzo shorties.
i woulda made him pay for the repairs

I just installed mine (like just now). I scored a set of calipers for about $26 shipped.
Bleeding was hard (I have a ABS bike). Here are some completed pics:

Just got back from an Intermediate Rider Training MSF class. It was a pretty good experience to go back a few months/thousand miles after the BRC to get some feedback. We had a pretty good mix of bikes in the class, everybody seemed pretty solid. Only one guy on a R6 that I might call squidly outside of the class.
Looking forward to a track day/school when I get down to Texas sometime over summer.

today I dropped mine off for a crash estimate. I was riding to rugby practice at night and even though I had scouted the route during the day, the school's maintenance crews had shoveled snow OFF the median INTO the turn. 30 mph lowside in a blind turn. Looks like around 1,200 in damages...sliders are in the mail, too.
