+Woodcraft clip ons and universal reservoir mount

 

Too much! Trying to figure out why it won't start...

Drained the gas tank, pulled the plugs, pulled the carbs, checked fuel lines (ok maybe this was two days) and still nothing.

If you have any thoughts or ideas I posted a thread in the 99-02 board

plugged it in. (batt) :-/

 

I walked passed it today and lamented that my motorcycle commuting days are over; my daughter started preschool this week, which is located on the NASA campus where I work...

I wonder if I can put a side car on the SV.

 

I wonder if I can put a side car on the SV.

Gotta figure that one out, it would be cool!

Mount at the swingarm pivot and the main frame bolt, maybe?

Edit: This thread kind of makes fun of the idea, but does make it look possible, at least...

Finished installing my vapor gauge, I still need to hook up the temp sensor, and then start installing the dash. Right now I just have it on the bar mount provided in the kit, I will figure out something permanent later on.

 

Installed 434Racing adjustable levers, black with blue adjusters.

 

Installed my custom Rick Mayer seat!

 

nothing. working too much lately

 

Installed my aTRE and finished custom padding my seats. Hardest part was getting factory vinyl over extra padding.
Yet I still can't upload a pic on here

wat'd you use to 'custom pad' your seats?

 

I went to an auto upholstery shop and bought some foam. And also used some leftover carpet padding, which is just rebond foam.
Www.diymotorycleseat.com has all the info you need.

Pulled off the subframe and had my roommate (who is a welding instructor) TIG on a couple brackets: one for the exhaust (it had just been holding itself up) and one for the battery (a bit more complex).

It's nice to have a Dynasty 200DX and someone who knows how to use it in the garage.

 

Cleaned it, degreased and lubed the chain.

Went for a ride, got caught in a freak rain storm.

The modern rain dance, motorcycle wash.

 

drooled over various svs. i don't get it. i've had 3 of them already. i should move on. but nope, every time i sell a bike, i end up with an sv.

 

Towed it home from mrbb. Rode it home from the garage. This thing is awesome. I dont know wtf i was doing on 650s.

Gave her a bath. I was out in the rain yesterday, so she was a little dirty. Now she sparkles!

 

cleaned and lubed the chain. then tightened her up a bit. changed oil.

 

Sketched up a color scheme I am thinking about painting (Yeah no photoshop here - just my daughters colored pencils)

 

that's awesome!

 

Yesterday I loaded it all up with gear and took it for a decent ride (250 miles or so).

Next week I plan on leaving on a couple thousand mile ride, with less gear than pictured.

 

Oil change after the bike was in storage for about 16 months. Clean and lube the chain. Also applied something for the rear brake squeal. Still need to clean the bike for motoGP silverstone on Sunday.

 

16 months?! I can barely stand 16 days without my bike.

 

New to the SV650. (2000, 5100 miles) Just bought it days ago, and had to go from Long Beach to Pasadena two times (120 mile round-trip total).

New to riding in California, and thought I'd wait a while before I split lanes, but I hate traffic, so off I went for the first time riding a bike on these freeways. Yes, I split lanes like a pro! I got the hang of it very quickly, and most cagers are very courteous about it. Naturally, there are people who don't use their signals, but I'm aware of them.

Oh, lost traction on the front end turning left for a sec but did not dump it. Whew!

Got the front wheel off of the ground for the first time on an energetic leap through cross-traffic.

I love to ride. I think I'm going to like this bike after I work out a few kinks.
