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)

Cleaned it up a bit to securely mount the GoPro camera I got in the mail yesterday. I have a few days to test out various aspects of the camera before my track day this weekend. In fact, I made a video last night and was able to test the low light capabilities.

The first minute or so is in high speed until I get to a real road. Make sure the video is in High Quality.
I can't believe how slow 1x speed. That explains why my crash video seemed like I was doing 30mph when it was actually closer to 55mph. Incidentally, I have decent proof of this if anyone is interested

i forgot just how much more "flickable" this bike is with bars and a more upright body position. on the flip side, highway riding is a bit more taxing now at speeds over 70mph or so.
still need to do some clean up on the front, hide/wrap wires and cables etc. overall very happy with the decision to return to bars. the bars are universal solex mini-hi and the risers are moose racing 35mm. need a new mirror option as the mounting system for my old bar end mirrors is to fat to fit in the new bars as the tubing walls are much thicker.
anybody looking for some 50mm clip-ons and braided stainless galfer brake lines (length for gsxr1000)? i'm going to throw an ad with pictures in the classified section tonight.

Cool video. I just about pooped myself at 0:47 when that car pulled out! hahaCleaned it up a bit to securely mount the GoPro camera I got in the mail yesterday.

Thanks. At the speed of real life, it wasn't much to worry about at all, but at 5x speed the speed of life, it sure does seem scary! Think about that... if we could only go 1x and minivans could go 5x...
