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)

Rode my SV to HB doughnut shop, then headed to OTD in Santa Ana CA. An ocmoto peep told me a Suzuki truck was there thinking it was for demo rides. I had to get oil and filter and some plastic fasteners for the tail.

Fabian told me they just needed a place to park it for a few days, so it was a false alarm.

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.

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.
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 !
