Changed the oil yesterday to prep for this weekend at Little Talladega.

Helped a fellow SVer put a rear tire on his yesterday too :)
 
Changed the oil, and put a gsxr shock on this weekend.
 
Yesterday was a very productive day for me and the SV.

1. Adjusted chain.
2. Adjusted clutch.
3. Installed sliders.
4. Removed old fairing w/light and installed Buell dual lights and screen.
5. Test fit guage cluster, plugged it in to make sure it works.

Now I just need to get the lights operational and find some flat steel for making gauge mounts and that will be all set.
 
New rear tire, CRA. And I've commuted 300 mile in the last week and a half.
 
Rode it, yeah.......90ish today. :(
 
first service and inspection
then broke off my shifter peg.
rode it to work with no peg
used some aluminum stock a lathe and made a new peg.

oh and rode the crap out of it.
 
Got lucky and noticed the battery tender pigtails at my local shop yesterday, so I bought one and installed it on the SV like I should have a long time ago.

a.s.

killed the battery chasing down a faulty ground in the left rear turn signal... took the seats off, charged it, and added a well insulated hot line out to the passenger seat so next time won't be such a hassle. i should just buy a 2nd pig-tail for my battery tender (which is used on my Ninja).

Left it at home because I needed to haul golf clubs, and it's absolutely beautiful today. :( On days like this, I often take an hour off in the afternoon and take the sv over to a park by the river to read a book in the sunshine. I'll go for a ride when I get home this evening.
 
Well, Last night I got the Fender Eliminator done.

Today, the Seat Cowl received and installed.

Just replaced the levers with chrome ones. I was going to change the mirrors too but it didn't look good...I'm still looking for some lower fairings if any one knows let me know!
