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.

Installed a new pair of Michelin Pilot Power tires.
Balanced wheels.
Installed Race Tech .80kg/mm fork springs.
Switched to 15w fork oil (PJ1).
Turned Emulator valve spring preload out 1/2 turn (now at 1 turn of preload).
Oil level set at 130 milimeters.
Installed fork legs with an additional milimeter of tube above top triple clamp.
Turned fork preload out one line on adjusters.

Result:
Working better than ever. :D

Got my endorsement today (finished the course over the weekend)...rode the Suzi for the first time on "busy" streets--then to work, to get coffee, to lunch, and back to work. Can't wait to ride again...having a tough time working for some reason.

Talked with another motorcyclist at the place I was having lunch...his first bike was an SV as well.

Sold It... well, sorta... i never actually had an SV. but i found someone to buy the one i've had in my garage for almost a year (my brother's).

i am sad to see it go, but it was bought by a friend so that's good. i was actually very nervous (surprisingly nervous) that it was going to get dropped as he learned how to ride, but he did great. i think he's visited SVR and i assume he'll join up in due time.

a.s.

Fixed my left mirror by putting in another bolt that I ground the head down on to fit a little tighter in the handlebar.Worked just fine.Although that's what I thought about it the first time until I got on the road.Definitly fits tighter.Should do the trick.;D
