For those of us in the lands of winter, when spring begins to taunt us you will see more "I rode it" posts and it can be more understandable then, but now it seems to be a little frivolous. It's almost the end of June, if just riding your bike is such a noteworthy event that you feel you need to alert the forum about it, you're not riding enough.

+1 I would be posting in this thread 365 day a year if that was all I had to add.

I did change my seat the other day though :naughty:













also rode it 3 times today :deadhorse:

 

[Wayne.C1972MC]

Installed 12v auxiliary port.

 

[Seraphim38]

installed flush mount front turn signals, bar end mirrors, started rear tail light installation, installed kick stand...all to get the race bike to become street legal ;P

Finally got off early enough to start work on my forks. I thought I had jack stands that were tall enough, but was wrong...so...I made my own stands. They were a little too short with the notches so I had to let air out of rear tire to get front off ground...but it works. It's a little wobbly, but stable enough to pull the forks off.

Hopefully the forks will be done tomorrow...just a rebuild with thicker oil.

You coulda just put some sections of 2x10s under your jackstands to add height. That's what I did.

Unfortunately, not everyone CAN ride that often. And to be honest (playing devil's advocate), how many posts of regular maintenance or some bike add-on (that has already been done before) do we really need?

I guess I'll start posting weekly that I lubed my chain.

I looked at doing that, but my stand are small Kragen specials. I sold my huge truck-sized ones a few years ago..:sbmfacepalm: The stands I have now were like six inches too short at the tallest setting. these worked out well.

I performed a valve inspection on my SV over the weekend. Much to my surprise, it passed at 30,000 miles. Much of that mileage done with the throttle wide open.

 

[mad8vskillz]

crashed it. no damage other than mirror, shifter, and ego.

 

[slim068]

Installed 636 shock and started a muffler chop

 

[AlabamaSV]

Installed flush mount front turn signals, new front fairing, and new bar ends.

 

[Digasi]

I finally got around to fixing the cover on the front left blinker. It had popped out when I dropped it last month and for some reason (laziness?) I haven't went out to unscrew it and put it back in right till now.

 

[taylor192]

Changed spark plugs
Cleaned K&N filter
Painted radiator guards

Hopefully my mileage improves, the plugs were black. The engine already starts and sounds better.

 

[Domiken]

Use them under your foot pegs after you flip them. Far more stable
