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)

nc did the same thing with my jeep?...
winter is over so i cleaned the poop out of it. next is a tune up.
Finally getting around to doing everything I needed to. Paid a kid to help me drop the Intiminators into the front forks, pulled top triple to drill (this time with the holes in the correct spot... 
... I bought a seperate top triple and drilled it incorrectly...) adding handlebars, longer throttle and brake cables (hoping to get away with the same clutch cable...). Putting in an R6 or R1 throttle tube while I'm at it... hopefully have it done this next Friday when I can get back to it. Finally have my "S" look with my "N" riding position. Should feel nicer on my old shoulders, wrists and neck... I can't wait.

Also put some fresh fork oil in and added some compression to the emulators while I was in there. Changed engine oil and filter and put distilled water and water wetter in for preparation for my track weekend. I have some woodcraft rearsets on the way and I will get some pics posted as soon as they go on.

Killed my master cylinder !!!
On general principle I had decided to rebuild my GSXR MC.
New Gaf hoses / pads. Needed to trim one of the tabs for a better hose angle.
Cutting wheel grabbed / jumped - murdered the banjo bolt mating surface.
Can't friggn believe it. I've got more miles on a die grinder than the SV.
Anybody in the SF Bay Area got a stock one available? 2006N

Yesterday, I got my trailer mostly put together. I still need to put on the lights and wiring. Then it will be complete as shipped, but I need to add some eye-bolts and a plywood deck. I'm also thinking about working up some contraption to hold the rear wheel down to eliminate having to strap down the back. The effect would be something like this:

Only much cheaper.

Changed engine oil
Cleaned and greased chain.
Discovered that the chain is loose as a pornstar.
I'll need a new chain soon.
Tried to start it, nothing.
Jumpstarted it. Came alive in 5-6 attemps.
Turned it off. Tried to turn it on again, nothing.
Charged the battery for 1½ hour at 8A.
Will see tomorrow if it'll starts
I think the battery is toasted dark roast.
The missmeteo is f**** drunk since last week.
I don't know if i'll bring my SV back home tomorrow...
