Rode out to the dam, got lost a few times, almost got run over at the gas pump of all places

 

Mounted hard bags and rode ~ 100 miles. I like em...

 

i moved it out of my shed so I could put my bros B1200 in the shed for storage, then put my SV back in haha

 

pulled and drained the forks, refilled w/10wt oil to see if it helps firm up the intiminators a little more. also bled the brakes, and cleaned the garage a bit

 

And how did it do for you?

 

i installed motosliders tonight.

 

I rode to Cycle Gear to get some fork oil.

Happy 4th of July!!!

 

Polished my slip-ons with some Mother's mag and aluminum polish. They look like chrome again!

 

I got a 86 Hp motor built from twin works factory,big smiles!

He(Zoran) put 41mm flatslide carbs,yosh cams and Hyabusa pistons,+who knows what proprietary tricks. Can't say enough good things about the motor,my dealings with Zoran or the price (which I'll not discuss because I think he would not like it) if you want a quote you should contact him :http://www.twfracing.com/forums/. I am in the bay area and TWF is in Reno but one of the TWF racers can provide transport from Sacramento. You should know Zoran would never ask for me to post this nor advertise for him in my sig,I am so pleased with my current and past dealings with him it is the least I can do.

The motor pulls from further down in the rpm range than before ,has more power everywhere and guite a bit more top end. It seems to rev quicker too. The racing carbs are a bit to get used to as the cable is attached to the slides so you need to be smooth on the throttle. I picked up about 9 mph faster on the front straight @thunder hill. Previously I was seeing 121(gps) and after the upgrade my best top speed on the straight was 130. I have no dyno sheet for it yet,so you say how do you know how much Hp it makes?! Well no less then 6 racers with the exact same motor butilt by the same person came by on their own and all said theirs made 86 on the dyno. I have to get some pod filters for it so after that I will get a dyno run. Filters will be a bit of a chore as I have a bit of a fussy custom tank that leaves little room for a filter on the rear carb.

 

Took it out on a 90+ mile romp with my good buddy, Jerry, and his 1999 SV.

 

Met TBone at Sheetz at 9 am. We went up to visit Coop, then took random turns throughout Westmoreland, Fayette, and Somerset Counties. We dodged small boulders, dogs, and sand traps on the farm roads, ate lunch in historic Ligonier, PA's main square, got flipped off by a chopper dude, were detoured just about everywhere we went thanks to construction, and in general had a good time. I put on around 130 miles, which means TBone had to have at least 220 by the time he got home.

 

I went out and check the tire pressure, rear was down 2lbs so I filled it up and spray detailed the bike and then pushed her back into her parking spot as the rain started up again. Hopefully I can take her to work tomorrow as I haven't been on her in over a week.

 

washed it, and going out for a ride

 

Put my Motosliders on today. I'm by no means the most mechanical guy in the world, but it was easier than I expected. I'd been holding off for a few weeks to get a friend to do them for me, but bit the bullet and did them myself. Took about 30 minutes. Would have taken a fraction of that except I had to go out and get a deep 19mm socket. Didn't realize the regular one only works so far down the bolt and then can't grip any more. I was confused as hell for about 10 minutes. Duh !

 

Rode around 400 miles with some friends. We went into western Pa and enjoyed the great day.

 

Knocked two little chips of paint off the top of the tank when the pre-load adjuster spun far easier than I expected. My bike has been through a lot and it's about time it had a whole new paint job anyway. I still shed a little biker tear.

 

Tensioned/cleaned/lubed the chain and then went for a 1.5 hour ride.

 

Unfortunately didn't get to ride today. I can thank the lovely Tennessee weather for that. Hopefully it will move out by tomorrow. My fairings will be here in the morning so I will have something to do even if it is still raining.

 

motosliders and took off the warning sticker on the tank.

 

I was going to wash it then the douches on CL that kept flagging my ads got me all worked up and I forgot to give Ruby the bath she desperately needs and deserves.

 

Oh, the flagging douches of CL. That's a good name for a band...the flagging douches.

 

this weekend, put on my front tire and gave the bike a bath. I get to ride again. yay

 

meant to wash it but too tired from the lake. tomorrow first thing.

 

If only this thread was titled "what did you think about doing to your SV today."

 

belly pan and radiator shrouds installed, very easy install.

i also removed the stock chain guard.

i picked up these parts from oneidasuzuki.com

i couldnt complete the install for the motosliders since we didnt have a long enough extension for the socket wrench, soon coming.

next item will be a new headlight setup, still debating on whether to go with the LSL setup on speiglerusa.com or maybe aztec8 dual round 4".

 

Nice pics, and bellypan.. is that a "muffin" on your back tire...LOL;D

this bike is being repaired from an accident occurred about a month ago now.

i ended up laying it down in some muddy grass. havent powerwashed it yet.

bike is still not running, still need a radiator cap and longer rear brake hose to fit with this gsxr rearset im using in place of my snapped stock one.

 

Rode my SV to the HB doughnut shop.



It was a little overcast this morning, usually clears up around noonish.



First time I've seen an HB Lifeguard stop here.

Notice 3 Toyotas to 1 Ford, lol.
