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.
What did you do to your SV today? (mods, farkles, maintenance, etc)

Two have become one. I also learned that I should test the gauge lights before completely reassembling everything...

running in the new Conti Road Attacks ;D
only thing I can say with less than 100 mi on them is the ride is MUCH softer and I don't have to brace for bumps anymore. My takeoff was considerably harder and rode harder probably cause it was toast. The difference is so dramatic I think I actually need to stiffen the rear preload.

??? I softened the front and rear preload when I first bought the bike cause it was too stiff and bumps were jolting me and problem solved. Am I using the wrong terminology, perhaps? The front is fine and feels more/less the same, the rear suspension feels COMPLETELY different
Edit: it feels too soft to be exact, when I bought the bike it was all the way stiff at 7 and I took it back to 4, it feels soft enough for me to want to stiffen it to 6.

Got some work done to it I don't have the tools for (sync the throttlebodies, check the valve clearances) installed PowerMadd hand guards, pulled the slip-on off to clean up the corrosion on it and reseal it. (If I were smart {and I'm really not} I'd repack it while I had it off. But it sounds so cool!) Really ticked off the neighbors by running it w/o the slip-on for a bit :vroom:

Yesterday, I removed the stock mirrors and replaced them with bar ends. One third eye on the left bar, and a pyramid stalk mount on the right. Assymetrical in appearance, but function over form.
Today I rode her liek the little trollop she is.

Okay, I'm a day late on this. Went for my Sunday ride.
A guy in a WRX pulls next to me at a light, of course it turns green and he takes off. So I had to gas it and passed him, but I after that I let off because I do not want another speeding ticket for this year.
So he goes by. Probably went to tell all his friends that he raced a motorcycle and won.

Yeah, I need to cool it with the street racing - if you get caught. CA has strict laws on that.
