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.

I'm in the middle of buying a 03 sv650 with 01 gsxr100 front end and ohlin rear shock, was previously written off and was supposed to have repair certs sorted today. Unfortunatly its now off to another workshop to get the front end swap certified so will be at least next week before I can get my hands on it. :(

Installed great SVRacingParts swingarm sliders! easy install, great service, and great product! :thumbsup:



only prob is the only "color temp" they have is 6000... too blue for me... its painfully annoying at night when someone's blue HIDs are blinding me... i wouldn't wanna do that since i know how bad it is...

looks hella good on the bike though! :rock: when i find a 4300k kit, i'll consider it.

Basket case

Nothing!

The new garage is a complete mess! I know my wife's bike is somewhere between that bunch of boxes and all that old furniture that we need to get rid off... and my bike barely fits in that tiny available space left... if only I didn't have this much work these days, I would clean everything up and give them (the bikes) a worthy, nice and cozy home.

END OF RANT.


Now, for your entertainment:

Also got a chain gaurd installed as well as a new Gauge. I'm in Love with the mini flyscreen and single round look. Next saturday I'm tearing down a 07 GSX-R 750 and taking the front to complete here face lift. :rock:

Then its off to paint (Ducati Pearl White) and she will be complete... Until I find something else to do to it haha.

new chain/sprockets and looked over my tires. was going to wait to order a new set, but they're getting to that point where it really needs to be done.

making the switch from dunlop q2's to pilot road 2's. ive been hearing excellent things about them and hopefully they'll last a bit longer than the 8K miles i get out of the dunlops usually.

I tried to repair the damage to some wiring from using Scotch Locks. I need to get one of the conductors out of a plug, but can't get it to budge. (It's the tail light lead that goes to a 3 conductor plug.) I want to put some heat shrink tubing over the part of the wire that the Scotch Lock destroyed, but can't get the wire loose from the plug.

Any ideas on how to get the wire loose?
