Installed a ZX-14 shock....

And started my front end conversion....

Have '07 GSXR 750 front end, Protaper bar and mounts, Galfer custom stainless lines and pads, and a new set of Road 3 tires to finish it off. Hopefully it'll be done this weekend, barring anymore stripped bolts :banghead:

 

Got my rearsets and passenger pegs and some other parts powdercoated black. Been wanting to do it for a long time. Looks awesome. Also ordered integrated brake light and shorty levers.

Even though it was snowing this morning I can finally smell summer coming.

 

changed fork oil from 10w to 7w. i really like the feel in it now, lot smoother less harsh.

 

Installed braided stainless brake lines and bled the brakes.

 

Installed rear EBC HH pads.

 

Sold the blue SV for full asking price within 48 hrs. of Craigslist posting..

 

^ did you sell the luggage with it? :roflmao:

 

Yes, the buyer paid me $3k for it. :naughty: said it was the most ingenious idea ever.

What have you done to you SV today? maybe you can stick to the topic of thread?

 

Rode to work...Took all I had not to just pass my job and keep riding!!

 

Went from this...

To this...

 

Re-re-installed my front wheel. I've found that alining that right fork bottom comes down to "touch" to keep it from binding.

Also wired up a new radar detector with one of those screech speakers to eliminate the ear piece. So far so good - I can hear it at 80mph with the throttle open.

 

Changed its oil and stared at it! Wishing I was out on it right now but 40mph wind gust and rain suck!

 

Rode ALL day 75 and sunny...first nice day we've had since....last August

 

Added some of those "Ride it " levers to the SV today. They are nice, fit well and are only as loose as the stock levers.

 

Rode the bike for a while. When I got home, my motosliders were waiting on the porch. It's gonna rain all day here tomorrow, so I know what I'll be doing!

 

Installed Backoff.

 

Took apart the headlight assembly... and realized that I need to replace the ring, can't unbend it

 

My SVS got new spark plugs, air filter, oil, oil filter, coolant, chain adjustment, chain clean & lube, and a TPS adjustment!!!!!

 

Made a bracket and mounted my Nikon 15 optical 720P zoom camera on it. Bracket hangs from top radiator bolt in an L shape and removable. Dunno how it is going to work with vibration, but the angle catches along the edge of the front tire from under the left turn signal. I had to get my tools out of the rain, so I didn't get to test it, except for a little neutral throttling.

 

clear alternatives turn signal lenses front and rear.

 

New tires front and rear=new bike.

While I had the wheels off I took the opportunity to clean the swingarm and forks in areas not easily accessible when the wheels are on.

 

Surveyed the damage from a cager induced wreck yesterday. Bike is not bad thanks to motosliders....I have a broken rib and fractured knee.

 

Yee-OUCH. Sorry to hear about that MountainWilliam. I just repaired the damage from my wreck a couple weeks ago. Luckily, I was unscathed and the bike was only cosmetically damaged.

Replace left rear body panel
Replaced dubtec's bent FE with Evotech
Replaced R6 throttle tube with stock SV one
Cut tang off side stand

 

Picked it up from the dealer after getting it's 6000k service. Good to go for the season.

 

started drawing it in AutoCAD

 

That. is. AWESOME!!! I hope you post up the finished product...

 

new grips (renthal), rear sprocket (45T AFAM), and cleaned/lubed the brake lever pin because it was starting to stick a bit.

In replacing the rear sprocket, I found that whoever installed the 520 chain/sprockets installed the washers on the wrong side of the sprocket... I'm pretty surprised I haven't noticed it before but oh well.

 

so they put the washers between the sprocket and the cush drive? lol...
