i am seriously considering painting subframe white as an accent piece

Since the roads are frozen and there's tons of salt on them, I haven't ridden in two weeks. So today, as I pulled the car into the garage, I left the headlights on and pulled up the cover on my bike and looked at it to make sure it was ok and not rusting into oblivion.

It was ok. I felt better, but not much. :'(

You guys had copper as a colour in 2005? I thought that was 2003 only?
I'd paint everything at once, that way you assured to match up all the panels.

I have the bike stripped and will be painting the entire bike at once. We did not have the copper color in 2005, but I figure as long as we are painting the entire bike, might as well make it a color you don't see everyday, and of course the color the daughter likes since she will be the one riding it on the street.

been a long time since I road the SV since I highsided it a year & ahalf ago. I have rekindled my spirits & the SV is now a frankin bike of sorts with parts from roughly 7 other different SV's but it is now in one piece & has moved from its resting place under its own power. it may not be prety but god **** it was fun to feel her rumble down the road again

Prepped for Track Day on Monday at Jennings. All is good and she is ready to go... YUM

Cleaned it a bit.
Then changed the oil and filter , and cleaned/lubed chain for my friend Adrian's Hayabusa,what a monster bike that is!

Installed relay/distribution block, heated grips, wiring for heated vest, changed my cig lighter to be a keyed power source and modified then installed a mount for a new safety device that I am pretty excited about.

Broke cam journal bolt! Yay!

Sheared off when I uncorked it. Upon closer inspection (which apparently I failed to do last time I had it out) I previously put in the wrong bolt type - looks similar but not quite. Doh!
Obviously it wasn't high strength steel. Don't know how I mixed it up but I'm the only one who could have. I'm a doofus.

Glad it happened to me instead of the next guy adjusting valves. 2nd removal attempt commencing tonight with new extractor, hopefully I won't have to pull the head.

Finished repairing headlight bracket/tabs... again. After my bad accident 2yrs ago, I had to repair 4 tabs with JB Weld, Goop, and metal brackets. My recent crash at the track broke one of those and another that wasn't broken so I rebuilt them with the same method and it mounts up perfect.

Installed the headlight assembly with the silver fairing I got from Macguyger (sp?) along with the straight fairing stay I got off eBay. Macguyver also included a tinted windscreen damage by brake fluid.... so I used brake fluid to repair it and it looks perfect again.

Drilled holes through the fairing and fairing stay to run wires for my integrated GSXR mirrors.

Put her in dry dock. She's officially garaged for the winter.

Let the wrenching begin.

[BluWolf]

Took her out for a very short ride. About an hour was all the time I had. More snow and rain on the way.
