I made a little bracket to remount my rear reflectors after putting on the FE. I know eddiemon had asked about pictures regarding this before, so a little more photowhoring:

Here are the fronts:

And here's an overall look:

Since they are rather small, I'm not sure how effective they are. At the very least they will be better than nothing, and not as obnoxious as the dinner plates that came on it.

I'm thinking about putting a little black reflective tape on the ends of the radiator under the dress-up plates. I'm just wondering if it might get a little too hot there for them.

 

It depends on the tape.. I had some on my rad in the same spot on my old SV and it was fine... I have it in a number of spot on my new SV and you can't even notice it really... unless light hits it... check it out... all the white spots are black reflective tape...

Blair from SV Racing Parts was instrumental in allowing this to happen

 

Painted shiny bits black.

 

put on the new m4 exhaust that wifey bought me. gotta love her for it. it was $359 which included 2-day fedex. not a bad deal. next is a darker windscreen, and lower fairings, and then i'll leave it alone until i decide what color to paint it. not a fan of the yellow. for now i'm just loving the sound...loved it more with no exhaust, yes i had to hear how it sounded chopped...it was insane!

besides the exhaust i've added the seat cowl, flush blinkers up front, k&n air filter, rim stripes, tank pad, fender eliminator, and removed the ugly stickers.

 

Bought it and then promptly put 600mi on it riding it home from Oklahoma City.

 

Rode to work. Cleaned bugs off of headlight, forks, radiator, mirrors, frame and gas tank. Durn bugs!!

 

Dude i picked up this aswome trick at work, take a dryer sheet (yes a laundry dryer sheet w/ faberic softiner) wet down the area w/ bugs and use the sheet to clean it, it actually disolves the bugs w/ ease... you gotta try it

Removed the right side bar end mirror due to it interfering with the throttle operation. Throttle would hang open instead of returning back when released.

Once the bar end mirror was removed, I realized the Buell Traction grips had a problem. The right side grip was sliding around on the throttle tube. They got cut off, and I went with some ProGrip 714's instead.

Rode the bike to meet my buddy at his parents house to install his fender eliminator and ASV levers on his 08 GSXR600. Then we went out and rode. Probably about 70 miles or so out on back country roads in the area, including some nice twisties.

Overall, a good day of riding and motorcycle related stuff. Even got a free dinner for helping my buddy with his bike. Me, him, and his fiancee went to a local Mexican place for grub. Would have rode, but she sold her bike last year, and she won't ride on the back of a bike. So, we took her 2010 Ford Fusion Sport. Car is AWESOME!!!

 

LOL, I rode to the Suzuki dealer closest to my house to check something out, but forgot they are closed on mondays.

 

I made my own fender eliminator kit....I cut that "Aerodynamic Deficiency" off that we all call a tag frame. Then I bought 2 "Bullet" looking turn signals and attached them to each side, and connected them up, and PRESTO! A fender eliminator that doesn't $100 like all the other one's out there...haha...:nana:

 

It would be nice, in my oppressive opinion, if this thread could stick to "what did you do to your SV today" instead of "what did you do that is somehow and somehow related to your SV... even if you were just thinking about it when you did something."

Surely SVRider isn't the biggest bunch of spazzes on the net... right?

ShaggyZ, you're like an oppressive mod wannabe.

 

Nothing so far but the day is realy young.If its not raining to and from work.If it is raining take the car ho hum,I HATE riding in the rain.Yeah it wasn`t raining so after work I went to get some ss brake lines made up.Pick them up tommorow.

 

Its been raining for two days, and I get surgery tomorrow....So every day before I leave I look back longingly into my living room, and see my bike parked there...

No riding for awhile

 

Im working on the seat mount and wiring placement

 

i rode her to my polling place for special election.

 

I painted my subframe today.

 

Sold it for

;D

 

Sold it for

First job - figure out a way to lengthen up that stubby muffler!!!

 

that exhaust is gnarly awesome!

 

Yeah those 2 bikes on that trailer = $110,000

 

It finally occurred to me that the best thing to do about the annoying front end rattle on braking which felt just like a loose head bearing, was to tighten the head bearing. Amazingly enough, the annoying front end rattle on braking which felt just like a loose head bearing really was caused by a loose head bearing. It's only taken me about 3 weeks to motivate myself to do something about that...

Also refitted my plastics, after a few months naked. Nice to have a windscreen again but I do miss the feeling of having so little in front of me. OTOH, 1st gen SV mirrors are TEH AWESUM, I'd almost forgotten how brilliant they are after months with bar-end mirrors. Sure, the CRG lanesplitters are brilliant bar end mirrors, but they're still mince compared to proper mirrors, fact. Other fripperies like speedometers and fuel lights are also quite handy ;D

Also, the fairings have got very dusty in the garage, which means that my bike now looks both incredibly shabby and dirty, and completely bad assed. I wish I could just clearcoat over the dust, I like it.

 

A friend and I installed a 04-05 ZX-10R on my 07 SVS... Much better....

 

finally got it registered

 

Went for my typical ride to get a coffee. Something I do as often as possible when I only have an hour or two.Usually a 50 mile ride tonight I turned it into an eighty mile ride. The town I go to is Chagrin Falls and this weekend they are having the Blossom Time Festival. So the town is all done up for the event.

The Famous Popcorn Shop.

A fountain in the park

The small falls.

A hot air balloon that caught my eye while riding home.

 

started it up for first time since november!!!
going to get it Colorado Registered tomorrow!
YAYYYYY
i bet a bath is in order too

 

For my SV: I ordered this chin spoiler. To my knowledge, it is known as the "Poly 26" belly pan to us. Let's just hope it only takes a few weeks to get here at $213 shipped from UK versus nearly $350 if I bought it from a US company that might be able to get it to me in a week.

Good luck on a week - they told me something totally different. Customs has been holding stuff big time. Poly 26 was another reseller like TwinShack - It's a Bikeside or copy

 

scrubbed off about an hours worth of tire finding new twisties to ride on

 

Taking my tail to the painter, got a race tail cheap on ebay. It needs quite a bit of fiberglass repair and paint. Really want to get a custom subframe for it, but gonna run the stocker for awhile, I've been off a bike for too long!
