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)

Man, does your radiator just look bigger because you don't have the fairing? I like the look of your topcase on yours. I went with the givi rack because I planned on getting the sidecases as well...but the dang thing is so big, not sure i need them..lol.Replaced a dead battery and aired up the tires, then went for a little ride and topped off the petrol on my way home.

The 2003-04 models had a wider radiator than the 2005+ ones.Man, does your radiator just look bigger because you don't have the fairing?

It's kinda goofy-looking. That's why I call her Rufus the Blue SV. ;D
First I put a eastern beaver 3 circuit fuse panel for gerbing plug, heated grips, and a bmw power port plugin. Then bikemaster daytona handlebars with a corbin seat. To top it off I went for a ride. The bike feels totally different in a very good way.

I'm in love. Second best purchase, ever. I'm going to play with the TPS adjustment this weekend and whenever the TRE gets here, I'm going to put that in. I've noticed the significant engine braking. It's not terrible with the .90 Sonic Springs in the front, but if it's smoothed out a bit in the first few gears, I'm alright with that.
My Jeep is getting some welding done over the last few days, so I had to ride to see a client today and it's in the 40s again, but very damp/humid out, so it feels cooler, but other than my hands, I'm good. I need something other than the gloves I wore in the summer for MOUT training in the Marine Corps, but it's all I have right now. I'm waiting to pick up "real" riding gear until after Christmas. My parents said something about getting me some stuff as gifts, so I'll just wait and see.
I'm very pleased with the upright riding position while still having a bike that pulls and corners like it does. It's very comfortable to ride but it definitely has a smile on my face, pretty much all the time. I'm looking forward to not having to look so hard for all the gravel on the roads for the winter weather.
