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.

Starting to think I should insure it early this year as the weather is so nice.Do that and it's sure to snow here!
She's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just installed pc3 and put it together to recharge a drained Mav battery.

Finally ditched the giant stock can for a Delkevic stubby. No leaks (used Permatex Ultra Copper) and sounds amazing! Bye bye sewing machine. Should have done this a long time ago.

Slapped on the Leo high mount that I bought off of Jette_man. I'd put a pic up if I could figure out how to get it off of my iPhone. Thinking about wrapping the headers all the way to the can. I don't really care for the discolored pipe and it will offer some leg protection for myself and my girlfriend now that the pipe comes shooting up behind my right foot. Yes, I'm bad and wear shorts on the really hot days. Some people say exhaust wrap makes a sportbike look ratty, but if done neatly, I like it. Oh, and maybe gain 1hp by keeping the heat in the pipe or whatever...
I reserved the hotel room in the town that I am going to pick up my new SV in. I also reserved a trailer. Does that count or am I reaching?
Ordered my Power Commander 3 USB tonight. $260 on motomummy.com and got a free can koozie in the deal. Love that they don't charge for shipping.
One of my friends turned me onto that site after he ordered some parts for his 08 GSXR600 from them. Best price I've found on the PC3USB ANYWHERE.
Still looking at different brake pads before making that purchase. Not quite sure which ones to get. Recommendations?

Went out to the garage and installed my progrip 719's. Used a small can filled gas to start her up(Everything is being painted). The new Leo high mount sounds sick. First time I hear it since I installed it last week.
Rode it home in the rain, then drilled holes in the left passenger peg mount for the LEDs I just soldered together the other night. I'll drill the holes on the other side tomorrow, then probably wait till my next day off to run the wires to my turn signals.
installed steve's aTRE. very simple! can't wait to get my bike running again. i routed it with the harness going into the subframe, the switch is right below the black plastic piece by the frame rail.
Ordered Traxxion Damper tube kit, Sonic Springs, ZX10 Shock, Michelin Pilot Powers, Carb O-ring kits. The fun begins 
I redid my garage door opener extension so I could the button up on the clip-on, instead of having to fumble to find it above next to the rear brake master cylinder. Today's lesson: Do shite right the first time.
Also gave in to my inner squid and installed the brake master cylinder cozy. Brake distances have instantly been reduced by 13%.

If anyone asks, the red button is the passenger eject.

I checked the back brake pads and while doing that, greased up the areas that the pads slide on. Torqued the fasteners to spec and now the back brake is happy. Lubed the chain, cleaned the rear wheel. Riding in the rain and wet sure gets the bike dirty... duh. Also, checked the tire pressure for tomorrow's commute.
Took off the front brake return line from the ABS unit. The front union bolt was stuck so i had to cut the line and use leverage and a vice grip to get it off. Got the wire harness off of the ABS unit. Thanks to Friendlyfoe!
installed my aTRE unit from Steve (92WestShady), and installed my new Sargent seat. (woohoo! )
I also tried to check my TPS settings, but I couldnt for the life of me get the Dealer Diagnostic Mode to come up. (boo! )

I looked at her, trying to figure out what part to replace first. Then i realized that i need to reweld parts of the subframe...... again......grrr
Hmmm, last night I was shoveling the driveway... so, I cranked up the SV, & after a thorough warm up, did a few burnouts....
