All that's left is to sand down the edges and paint ccasion14:

 

wish i had kept the one i bought 5-6 years ago.

 

Did you have to cut a lot for it to fit?

 

You need to cut in three places, the spots on the belly pan with painters tape is where you need to cut it. I ended up using this guide to know in general how much to cut, but since I used custom brackets I cut a little bit more in some areas to be able to mount it in closer.

chain renewing with x-ring 525 15-45 kit

ccasion14:

 

Installed extra phone screen protector on gas tank because tank bag magnets were scratching the paint.

Yes I like to keep my nice things nice...

 

Started the day crossing 50,000 miles.

 

I keep trying to hit the "like" button, but it doesn't seem to be working...

 

Got an Action Cam for my helmet.

 

Went camping.

 

Leaning up against it while I peruse SVRider :vroomvroom:

 

After I installed the Nelson-Rigg CL950 saddlebags, I went for a long ride... down to Louisville Kentucky (from chicago). That's me in the middle of the big group picture next to the Yellow bike at Story Inn, in Story, Indiana. GREAT ROADS to/from this place!!!! I'll be back for sure!


The other pic is a pal on his Bonneville giving his approval to the roads!

LOVE MY SV650 with the GSXR front end on it. What a dream bike for curvy roads!

 

I bought one...

Yay!

 

OK, so Saturday but I was offline all weekend...

Clutch Mantra after cleaning all the gunk from a new chain out...

Then adjusted idle, reconnected the breather hose to the bottom of the airbox, and relocated a USB charger dongle...

 

I wasn't gonna do it.

I have another trip to the Gap planned in October, and told my riding friends that I was going to hibernate the SV between now and then to save my tires.

You see, I am on my forth set already this season.

It's been a good season. No deer crashes. No tunnel crashes. No broken legs.

Am approaching 30,000 miles for 2015 and eating up tires is a result.

So yesterday I finished installing my beta unit Fuelbot 2.0 (thanks Tee) and went for a ride to calibrate things.

Ended up being three tanks...and ended up railing some twisties in there.
3500 miles on this set already.

So damnnit....I ordered rear tire #5 today. That's what I did

Tip of the hat to a real rider.

I used to average 1,200 miles a month on my 2008 CBR1000RR before I sold it.

I've been gingerly riding other bikes since, being careful not to put too much mileage on them in case I sold them, which i did.

I wanna get back to riding everyday which is why I bought an SV650 yesterday. Cheap, economical fun.

Cleaned/lubed chain. Cleaned most of the rest of the bike. It had been a few months.

Put the chain guard back on. Just for fun.

 

I think the proper term is "Quality Time". Giving your undivided attention to a loved one... :hug: ;D

 

As I was leaving work I noticed the SV was right at 40,000 miles.
although I did 200 miles this weekend without my speedo/odo working, so it actually happened sometime then, but now it's official haha.

 

Over the weekend I levered on a new back tire. Took off a Shinko 011 with 6515 miles on it and replaced with a fresh one of the same. Really like these tires! They last as long or longer than the PR2's did, and handle well until it's time to take them off...unlike the PR2 which got weird toward the end of its' lifespan. Best part is the rear tires cost about $98 delivered at American Motorcycle Tire. http://www.americanmototire.com/catalog/ If you are in the market for tires...give these people a look see....haven't found anyone beating their prices yet.

 

I've been steering clear of them since their 009 Ravens almost killed me in the rain repeatedly. Do you have a comparison between the two tires?

 

We need to get 2 of the same bicycles so we can save money on parts and apparatuses. We are taking a gander at old BMW R80 GS.

 

Took apart front brake calipers and put them in the ultrasonic cleaner. Re-greased pins, re-installed, and bled the system.

 

Ram mount on a 2ng Gen SV650 for my S5. I haven't seen any done on a 2ng gen for the stem nut. Took maybe 30 min. Worked out perfectly for a 450 mile road trip. Turns out I don't use it much for the touchscreen so I think I'll sell it. I can control most everything through my sena headset and don't need to see the phone all that much.

 

Got bored. Got silly.

 

You should be in a fine mood by Feb 2nd, if you're doing this now....

 

Put in the zx10r shock that I've had laying around for months...

 

Started getting everything lined up to sell

Haven't even seen my SV in months, been in storage.

 

what are you selling?

 

Dropped this tank during a nice speed wobble at 80mph. Popped the dent, bondo, presto.

 

pm me what you were thinking for prices... we could make it work

 

That front end sounds interesting!

 

Same thing I do every weekday morning this time of year...

Ride into the sunrise...

 

Wait! You're not trying to "TAKE OVER THE WORLD"?
