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.

Painted and mounted the rear seat cowl I've had sitting on the shelf for the past six months. Also recovered the drivers seat with some fresh black marine grade vinyl. Looks nice and fresh. The stock seat cover had a few cracks in it from being in the Florida sun for the past three years.

I'm about a week and a half behind here, but got her back from the dealer with new shiny lowers, new rear wheel and tire, new brake pedal, new right turn signal, new right passenger peg, and touched up swing arm from when she was hit by a small dump truck while parked in the street around Thanksgiving

Solid point, but how many malicious alcoholics wander the streets with pockets full of BBs?
Same ammount of alcoholic giants that can actually stand in front of a SV and pee inside the tank. (Or regular sized alcoholics that carry a ladder, for that matter).

Found a crack in my faring that I didn't notice after the spill. Drilled and epoxied. Got my extra passenger seat to mount properly (had some issues) and noticed that the previous owner was not as much of a b.s-er as I thought

He claimed that he raised the faring to make the N handlebars work with the faring. but he said it in a way that made it seem less than truthful, but sure enough he did.

Now I can begin fabbing up a luggage system with that extra passenger seat.
