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.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

Today I mounted $8 BMX pegs on my 1st gen. Later this week I will be finishing my tail section with fiberglass, me and my buddy have been experimenting with fiberglass... he just made his first seat pan out of it, after making a fiberglass air box for his chopped CB. PIX to come

Brasso? Does it shine it up or what? I use grade #0000 steel wool to shine up my can and pipe...works great to get rid of all the hard water marks and dirt...don't even need water or a towel. Post a pic of your pipe please.
As for me, today I had my 4yo help me wipe all the teflon wax I put on last night, then rode it to and from work. 108* today...can't decide which one is worse...wearing my skull cap or my full-face.

painted my lower GSXR triple clamp with duplicolor black wheel paint... (first I grinded, drilled and tapped the clamp to create new steering stops, then sanded it before paint) Turned out okay, but I don't care tooo much because it's going to be hidden from view by the 1/4 fairing.

For the last week and a half, I've only been able to stare at my bike... 
Combination of crappy New England weather and life has kept me off of it. Planning on a couple of things though. I got Shady's aTRE in the mail yesterday and I want to add the LED's in the passenger footpegs so I have some LED's in the mail.
Yes I know I'm a wimp for not riding in the rain. I'm still a n00b so I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

I stopped at this chapel to take pics, Was here when I went on BCR poker run but a wedding was going on so the area was off limits.

This street has a center divider wider than the roads and is lined with eucalyptus trees.

nice that is one of the best upgrades I have done to mine so far, I can't wait to upgrade the front shocks too. Did you make that rear "shelf" or did you buy it I remember seeing it at palomar but didn't get a chance to ask.I replaced my rear shock with a ZX-10R shock.
I ended up using a couple of tie-downs instead of the rope, lol. Funny I didn't take a picture of that.
I'll get a pic of the shock on the bike...
