Cleaned and lubed chain, cleaned wheels (were so gross after riding through the rain!), did an oil change, cleaned under the tail, frame and engine. Went for a ride!
 
Mounted my new-to-me 05' headlight, finally got to hide all those wires again!
 
Adjusted my fork again so that it doesn't feel like I'm gonna die when I ride.
 
Saturday I ordered a new conti road attack for the rear and stainless lines for the front brakes and new brake pads all around.

Sunday I installed my new .85kg sonic springs and 20wt oil
 
Put some Lock Tight on the bolt holding she shifter in place!!! Let's see if it falls out now!!!
 
Took it to a measured km stretch of road to check speedo accuracy against the stopwatch. Didn't have to worry - the LEO's were there with their little radar gun. A polite enquiry resulted in one of the gentlemen volunteering to check my speed with the gun. 49km/hr on the clock checked out at 47km/hr on the gun - a little under 5% over-read. MUCH less than some posts on here would indicate.......just as well I found out. The dudes claiming that SV speedos over-read by 10% may well have got me into trouble......
