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)

Posting here since there isn't a "What did you do to your son's bike 2 days ago" thread.
A "friend" jacked up the engine on my son's (fatpad00) bike so I had it pulled to swap it out. He asked me if I could get some stuff powdercoated, and so began the removal of a few parts:

My son is in the Navy at Great Lakes, which is why I am doing all the work so it will be ready to go when he transfers to his 1st duty station (Charleston, SC) and can have a vehicle.

None of the slip on exhaust for the 650 is overly loud on a none worked engine. And if you do not want to loud, keep the db eater in the exhaust.Just a bit? Cool, I don't like overly loud exhausts

I had a thread a long time ago about bar end weights. They are the ones we talked about in that thread. Their called alphamotos and have bar end weights attached to the mirrors. They'll be here next week, I'll post a review.

I put Suzi up on track stands.
It's been icy some days and around 21 to 25 in the mornings. Not a good combination, so she's parked until the climate improves. In the PNW, there's a persistent high pressure system that is causing it to be cold and dry. Not normal at all. The ice comes from fog freezing on the road, and on the canyon I ride, mist from the river freezing on the road.
Before it got this bad, I slipped around on the ice two mornings. One day I came upon a bunch of flashing lights - cops, ambulance, etc. A pickup truck had slid on the ice and was on it's side. You can imagine the looks I got from the emergency folks.
Until things get better, I'm not going to risk crashing on the ice. The other side of the coin is that cars/trucks can lose control on the ice and take me out. Not cool.
So, she's up on the stands for a while.
