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)

Installed Bikemaster Drag Bars to replace the ugly dirt bike bars that came on the bike.
Also installed some "Ride It Moto" gold anodized CNC shorty levers. Nice quality and amazingly fast shipping coming from China, like 3 working days.
Waiting for my bar end mirrors now.....

I installed PAIR block off plates that I got from TPO parts. The instructions were very generic, but the plates were very well made and the hardware was quality stuff, which is all I really needed.
Took about 40 minutes. I yanked all of the hoses out and capped the PAIR valve outlet with a supplied cap.
The main reason I did it is because the PO had somehow disabled the system, but left the hoses on. I got a lot of condensation buildup in the rear hose, right on top of the reed valve. I found out about the condensation when I checked the valves. So that's fixed.
Now I'm out of projects!
In the last few weeks I've installed a filter adapter so I can use Pure One filters, flushed and bled the brakes, flushed and refilled the radiator, synced the throttle bodies, checked the TPS, added a fender eliminator and now installed the block off plates.
I guess I'll have to think up some more stuff to do.
I forgot: I changed out the chain and sprockets, too!

Rolled it out of the way so I could finish installing a new right side radiator and hoses on the KTM.
I promised it I would clean it and go for a ride tomorrow.

It was a few days ago but, for the first time changed all 4 spark plugs and the coolant after almost 30k :sbmfacepalm:. Also cleaned and re-oiled my k&n that I took out a few months back because it was dirty and I was lazy and just put the stock filter back in (it was still in good shape). Cleaned and lubed the chain with some dupont chain lube.

I modified a Buell Lightning flyscreen to match the size and characteristic angles of my 2-gen SV. Thread here: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=149184

Removed the clip type master link and installed the RIGHT one. Rivets forever beeches. I'm not letting a 7$ part have a chance at taking me out
Installed a ZX14 rear shock. Of course as I usually do, I had a momentary lapse of reason along the way. I used a heavy duty ratchet strap to suspend the rear end. I had to run out to get a longer bottom shock bolt though. So thinking it might be better to get the bike down on the stand a bit while I was gone, I released the ratchet strap... Doh. Without the dogbones the tail dropped like a ton of bricks. Smushed my license plate real good. :facepalm: Idiot.

Confession is good for the soul, young grasshopper.Installed a ZX14 rear shock. Of course as I usually do, I had a momentary lapse of reason along the way.
