Bought another one

You're worse than me. My problem is I keep them instead of parting them.

It wasn't ~today~ actually, but just a couple days ago I finished up my conversion to bars from clip ons - a conversion done by a previous owner. I put on bikemaster superbike bars in black and they look and feek great. I also replaced the front brake lines with galfer SS braided, replaced the front signals with the LEDs, painted the headlight/signal bracket, installed R6 throttle tube, and installed new grips.

It is a lot more comfortable position but what I am so surprised about is how the dynamics of the ride changed so much. Cornering feels weird without me hunched over the front of the bike. There's a lot more of my hefty weight on the back tire now, emphasizing the need to replace the rear shock even more. Plus my arse hurts in a different place, and more quickly, than with clips. This will take some getting use to!

Made sure the sharkskinz fit, had to drill and tap a hole. They seem to fit quite well. Disassembled all the bodywork to be taken to get painted.

No motosliders?
You should pick up a set of the new ones for full lowers and cut the fairings to fit.

I thought about it, I have a generic set but they mount more forward than I wanted them. What bolt do the motosliders attach to? Is it the bolt that runs all the way through the side of the engine block?

They've released a new design for full-faired SV's- see here: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=95281

The sharkskinz will have to be cut regardless of which Motosliders that are selected.


Headed downstairs for a quick oil change and maybe a test ride. Another winter storm coming in tomorrow, not going to be pretty.

 

[insideyou]

took out the rear pegs and put it a Metisse(k4-k8), exaust hanger in my k3(just had to reajust the rubber exaust strap) !!!

 

[sagvr4]

added lowers

 

[Ranger]

Got the oil changed, adjusted the new horn position and got the clutch adjusted. The problem was old oil from sitting over the winter, plates weren't releasing properly.

I rode it a little more than 50 miles thanks to a little encouragement from mBiken.

For you SVers living in sunny climates, getting out and riding in Febuary (THE WORST of the winter months) is a MAJOR event for us Midwesterners.

During the ride, I unleased the machine several times to clear the pipes. She seemed to appreciate the dance and rewarded me with a dash of rear wheel spin followed by a power wheelie as I moved to pass a brain dead cager.

Yeah, I rode her that's what I did for my SV.

 

[tlc4diving]

Took my daughter out on the new 02 SV for her first solo ride on it. She loved it and did great.

 

[TBone]

Sprockets and chain off for replacements, sanded and primed the rear wheel for painting.
Days are getting longer and warmer, oooh I can FEEL the riding season.

 

[Hauptman]

New rear tail section, modded rear turn signal to fix rashed front turn signal, new BT016's!!!!!!

 

[Lost1888]

Changed the oil over to the beloved Rotella 5 40 and put on a new filter. Waited for the weather to change. But we will be waiting a little longer.

 

[Iakayak81]

Tested the luggage out for 153 miles, 14 were gravel. Not bad for first day out this year

 

[Rednarb]

Oh yeah, and motosliders too
