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.

Gave it another day of rest and rode my bicycle to work, last week at the Rally it got a helluva workout.

I went out bought some kerosene, cleaned and lubed my chain. I also picked up a 13inch extended drill bit and drilled a few holes in the baffle. A subtle difference but a slip on will come with the next season. Along with new tires, only a thousand miles on the stock but from what I have read on here they make a world of difference.

Change oil and filter (I had a cracked filter)

Today after work I'm going too take apart the Other sv (not the bobber/SSSA one) done to the engine and start building it back up how I want it.

Rode her hard and put her away tired, wet and very satisfied!
Fixed that for you. ;)

Haven't rode mine since I backed her off the trailer. It's been raining everyday and I was down in Miami for the last 2. :'( I hope tomorrow or Saturday is gonna be her day again.

Wasn't today,but this last week I finished replacing the broken left footpeg and needed pieces along with the handlebar end bolt that also broke in my accident.I also de-stickered the warnings and painted the headlight ring,mirrors (of which only replaced back with the right one),radiator end protectors and the first exhaust heat shield all with high temp black engine paint.I think I'm going to repaint the headlight ring as this particlar paint doesn't like to be handled by the oil in human fingertips.It is slightly dull in finish.

Rode it to work.....

been staring at it out the window for the last 6 hours :'(
At least you have a window to look out of.

mine is sitting in the back parking lot. 75 degrees and sunny out for the first time in 2 weeks and I have to sit in a windowless room and think about riding.

Thankfully they laxed the websense software here at work so I can get on SVR again ;D

Hopefully later this week I will be replacing the magneto cover gasket, change the oil and get my new front tire mounted.

Silly as it sounds,I Krazy glued a George Killian's Irish Red beer bottlecap onto the radiator cap that was once covered by the warning sticker.I think it added a nice personal little touch.Oh,I started her up to move her where I could have more space to also Krazy glue my left rear turn signal back together.I can't wait 'til I can ride again.
