Yesterday, installed my Delkevic Slip on.

Washed the bike...was filthy!

That's a good looking bike.

Laid on the fuel-proof clear on the tank today. Couple of tiny bubbles in it, but I really don't care.

 

[rayobot]

Finished up painting the Buell xb flyscreen and bolted it on. Not sure if I'm totally happy with it, but you know, these things are always a work in progress.

^ About time, Brad!

I went and bought 2 orings for my coolant leak. Spent enough time last night trying to get it right. A few smashed fingers later and I've learned something.
Let's hope tonight goes better than last night.

In preparation for the crazy heat and humidity that is on the way, I changed the coolant.

Looks good... I'm still undecided about the change in logo on the newer M4 cans.. on the titanium can anyway I think I liked the metal solid black logo... slightly harder to clean though with the raised part

The old logo was a raised, black and metal mount on, the new ones appear to be more like a sticker or painted on... probably looks better on the full carbon can though and much easier to clean

Oh.. and all I did to my SV was brush some of the parkade dust off mine... it was supposed to p!ss rain all day... but actually turned out not to...
d a m n i t ! ! !... I shoulda risked getting soaked....

The ultra-rare dual tank SV! Looks great!

 

[Zokambaa]

They call it the Suzuki Camelback upgrade... haven't you seen it before..... remove the passenger seat, add some mounts and a tank and route it to the main and presto... the SV-Camel 650 or 1000 but they are even more rare.. but now you can go at least twice as far!

Looks nice!

Bwahahahahahahaha!

On a related note...for my Harley chopper build, I'll eventually fab up an auxiliary fuel tank under the seat.

Fixed my coolant leak!

 

[throttlebody]

Took a couple snapshots of my plate lights at night after FE mod.

 

[jbswear]

Fixed my coolant leak!

Yay!


I finally moved the air horn from here:

To up under the rear seat.

Tomorrow I'll wire in an A/C adapter so I can plug my phone and camera battery chargers in.

I don't think I've EVER done so much in so little time to this bike. Having free time after work (in other words, the spring semester is over) is amazing.

 

[Zokambaa]

Sounds more like a V-Max to me...

for some reason... no matter how impracticable they are... the V-Max still gives me a raging boner....

something keeps telling me to sell my Marauder and get a V-Max instead..

not sure why... perhaps it is the sheer g-forces...

Bwahahahahahahaha!

I used to have an Intruder 800 (same engine as the Marauder). Yeah, the V-Max will be more fun. The "older" style. The new one is just fugly.

My chopper will still have the above-engine tank, but another below.

 

[Zokambaa]

Yeah... the new V-max is an aborted fetus... fugly as hell.... give me back the 1989 or 1992 beast and I'll be happy...

The Intruder still is one of my favourite bikes... I loved the look of them back in the late 80's early 90's... sooooo not harley but very cool....

I hate the battery location though... I mean come on.. let me pull it from the seat area and not from under the bike
d a m n i t ! ! !
My Marauder is a lot cooler since the re-jet and new front sprocket... but still it handles like a pig... and the cobra exhaust will be a problem when the city brings in their new noise bylaws... but hopefully by then I've sold it for something else..... the SV though is still a keeper for me...


I am tempted to get a VX800 in place of my Marauder though... again same engine.. whole different bike.... but if a V-Max presented itself I'd kick that Vx800 to the curb... I don't care how bad the V-Max handles and how far it goes on a tank.. it can't be worse than my Marauder.... but the engine is sooo much more fun.... and the 80's and 90's V-max bikes are actually becoming more affordable these days too... woohoo!

I put the first of hopefully very few scratches on her. Made the rookie mistake of not quite getting the sidestand down all the way on a slight incline and over she went. On the positive side, my ankle (and the recently installed frame sliders) saved the fairing from what should have been a bit more damage. Now my ankle is all jacked. Good times.
