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.

Well there’s a first for everything. In all my years of riding motorcycles and adjusting chains I never had an axle nut get tighter when I tried to loosen it. Yes I used a torque wrench, did not over torque the nut and strip the threads. I was done messing around broke out the welder and fixed it! Now I need to get a new axle and nut.... I'll inspect the bearings, etc...
Rode it this weekend, and the starter solenoid STB, so this morning I glanced forlornly at it while walking the dog and am working from home. New (used) solenoid is on it way.
Installed what I doub the “******* Toprack”
I needed a spot to carry camping gear for an impromptu camp this weekend. Assembled this out of parts I had laying around. If this works I will improve on it.

Using a diagram from this forum , I decided to try and convert my track SV to keyless ignition. Only users the switch now. Fairly straight forward with access to the wiring being the most difficult part.
Fitted a keyless fuel cap. Waiting for my R6 throttle tube to arrive. Having to twist the throttle an unnatural amount on the track was hurting my wrist. I'd post pics but don't have enough posts yet. 
Blew the cob webs off after it sat for a month.
Checked tire PSI, WD40 the chain, and went for
a night ride. Couldn't locate any tags! You would
think after 100 miles of urban riding, I would have
found at least one!
Tomorrow it gets too hot to ride again. Can't wait
for winter!

Technically yesterday..but took her for a 150 mile trip to see some friends.
80-85mph on the Interstate. Didn't skip a beat. Think I got more than 50mpg too.
That stock seats gotta go. Or I need to find another bike for distance [emoji848]

Scuffed in a new set of Dunlop Q3+'s. Went for a 45 mile ride then back to my neighborhood and hit the roundabout. Started out wide and got tighter left then switch turning right. Rear is done The front has a little more work. My neighbors probably were thinking I lost my mind going around in circles.
My initial thoughts on the new tires, AWESOME! Can't wait to get to the mountains in Sept for some fun.

Got the oil changed and chain tension adjusted, then made a few deliveries. (PostMates Fleet member, for a little extra cash.)

Removed all of my track parts to street my SV for the first time since I bought her in 2009. Though, I’m pretty sure I’ll have to swap out the race slicks too. Just haven’t gotten there yet.
What did we do to the Canadien Bee, basically got her ready for the track. (2002)
New tires front and back
Changed fork oil
Braided lines front and back
Oil and filter change
Air filter change
Chain and spocket
Removed turn signals
New brake pads front and back
Steering dampner
Radiator flush and Water Wetter added
Safety wired a lot of the important parts
Things still needed are spark plugs, carbs cleaned and gone over, throttle sync, swing arm overhaul, oil pump upgrade to metal gear, add external fuel filter, key less fuel cap.

Today and tomorrow I'm fabricating two mounting brackets out of 6061 Aluminum to mount an ohlins steering damper above my top triple. Then i'll send them out to be powder coated the same color as my frame.
Got the final piece on to recover from my crash, road ready now. Already tested on a few rides lol
