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.

added dl650 hand guards for the cold weather. it was 32 this morning and they worked great. only got half as cold. they don't work with napoleon bar end mirrors so i had to paint the stock arm watchers black and remount them looks ok for winter.

Today, I applied loctite on the gear shift lever bolt. The bolt came loose and completely off while I was on the highway leaving the gear shift lever dangling on the ground. O_O

Not happy times.

Late post, as well, but after Sunday's ride, I finally rotated the brake and clutch levers down a little. Also realigned the bar end mirrors a smidge. Minor adjustments to improve the overall experience.

SS gafler and HH fronts ... man I had no idea how crappy the stock brakes were until I upgraded.

Rode 75 miles, turned in for 600 mile service, asked them to check the throttle body sync, picked up bike (2007 SV1000S), spent next 20 miles going home wondering if the vibes were worse or better.

They probably didn't check anything, and just dumped the oil and cashed my $140 check.

Dude! I was quoted about $250 from one dealer (the one I bought it from), and about $325 from the one closer to where I live. The latter specifically mentioned they would do the TB synch, even though it wasn't specified by Suzuki.

I installed my Pyramid hugger. It was a bit more of a PITA than I thought it would be. Also got the wheels all cleaned up and ready to install the reflective wheel strips tomorrow.

Tried to install my full SS TRS system, but snapped the head off the exhaust flange bolt:BangHead::BangHead::BangHead:

Now I have to trailer it to the shop, because there was not enough left sticking out to really do anything with. I broke 3 drill bits, and the bolt extractor was useless, it will be worth it once I get pipe on though.
