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.

I changed my oil and spark plugs.

There are more fires in CA. Corona, Yorba Linda, Brea and Anahiem Hills. The smoke has made the sky overcast and its raining ashes.

This pic shows the ashes falling from the sky, Yorba linda, Brea is like 10 miles from me.

Is that what smells (like burning all over)?

Installed my rear riser plates last night.

TechSpec pads are installed too (from the SVR group buy). Since I already have their larger TankPro3, I put the smaller sv tank pad on the front of the tank. Protects that part of the tank on the very rare occasion that I have something dangling from my neck when I tuck in.

Today I switched my shifting to 1up 5down. (GP shifting) I welded together some stands for the bike. Adjustable front and rear stands. And last but not least I ordered a Power Commander USB III for a great price of $180!

Put my bike up on ghetto stands to start redoing the wheels.

yes, I think the spray-can tops it off ;D:p


I cleaned my chain
I put on my driving lights (on the fork, where the reflectors once were) - Some Pilot NV-512W 35W driving lights
I soldered up my aTRE, to be installed next weekend :)

my back hurts from all the bending and squatting. I don't have any "formal" workbench area, so most of my work was done on the floor (soldering, kneeling, etc)
