Installed my new chain and sprockets this morning

what's that on the right panel? Camera mount? Sucks to see a bike on its side.

What I did today on mine was take a utility knife blade and straightened out the cooling vanes on my radiator...still a lot left to do. Lesson learned -- never use turbo pressure washer on radiator...lol
 
Last weekend I rebuilt my forks putting in RaceTech Gold emulators, damping rods, and new adjustable pre-load fork caps. Hubby was off snowboarding so I thought I would tackle the project while he was gone. I did have minimal help with a few things I was physically not strong enough to do but it felt great to have done it myself. I'll post up some pictures once I have them transferred into my PhotoBucket file. :)
 
Installed some Shogun frame and spool sliders (bought them before I came to this site), then installed my RAM mount set up for my camera. Rode about 150 miles as well, and got my first ride vids on SilVia. I will post them later once I get around to uploading them.
 
Washed and waxed today. Going for a short ride tomorrow.

Also got to thinking about my next mod/buy. I am definately wanting a new seat. I have decided on Sargent's. Either that or motosliders, cant decide lol.
 
Go with motosliders... they cost less than a seat... and you can always wear bicycle shorts with the ass padding if you have to... but tip over the bike without sliders and you won't be too happy... :p

+ a zillion

Sliders really should be the very first addition to a new bike, IMO. Everything else can be added later. Protect your investment!
 
Installed Sonic Springs tonight. Have to wait until Tuesday for the rain to stop before trying them :(

Installed zx10r shock last night.

New tires probably next weekend.
 
Replaced my coolant yesterday and went for a 112-mile ride.
 
Rode 20 miles in the drizzle, while some English women kept whispering in my ear that I made a wrong turn. I think I'm going to like the GPS and bluetooth.
 
I spent time contemplating the shape of a custom windscreen I'm having formed for the front of my naked SV. Then I removed a broken socket head machine screw from the primary of my '75 Bonneville.
