Ha! Have you seen my build log below?

I've looked a bit. Its still a hardly XD

I give harley riders crap, but if you build it up yourself It's slightly more acceptable.

My new Sargent seat came in the mail and I promptly installed it on my sv1K

 

[JMartel]

I lamented the fact that it's covered in sawdust and waiting on me to get a set of risers from my buddy so I can mount up the bar again and ride it.

I also contemplated selling it, as I'll be getting a VFR soon.

Cover it with a sheet when you're sawing/turning. At least that's what I do.

 

[jbswear]

Oh the dust didn't bother me. It's that it's been sitting for so long, unused!

 

[jesse v]

I did this today (Cheesy burnout vid):

Then this:

Then I installed my new Hel clutch line. Wheels will go back on today with new Bridgestone BT-023's.

 

[JMartel]

Yeah. Mine's been in 100 different pieces since January. I'm ready for it to be on the road. Thought I was gonna get to ride it to work today, but turns out I have a coolant leak from a hose not seating properly on the front of the rear cylinder. Gotta tear it down partially again to fix that.

This.

On topic, I ordered a CRAPLOAD of parts.

-Gix wheel and brake stuff
-Nucular damper mount
-Mike's Levers
-ebay taillight

 

[JMartel]

Oh yeah. That reminds me. TJ from RidersDiscount hooked me up with a K&N filter last night to uncork the other end and help the new exhaust out a bit.

 

[Jeep0312]

Just changed the front tire, adjusted chain tension, and did an oil change on the motorcycle. I got it mid February with 8,500 miles on it and now have just over 10,000 miles on it. Rear tire to come very soon.

Is it right that it took almost 3qts for the oil change? It was a little more then the 2.5qts the manual says.

 

[Giff]

If you changed the oil filter it will take 2.9 quarts.

 

[Jeep0312]

Yeah i did the filter too. Is that 2.9 for the 1st gen too?

 

[paradigm77]

Got bars & controls on, rearsets mostly fitted, played with headlight mounting options. Fit the holeshot during the week.

 

[Jeep0312]

Going to trim the bolt on that exhaust clamp?

 

[SquareHead]

I am taking my SV from track to street. I built it as a track bike over the winter and now changed my mind! Look for top quality parts for sale very soon!! Man, this is going to cost me :sbmfacepalm:

 

[Biyatekeela]

I rode it.

 

[Real_PhillBert]

Washed, clay bared, and waxed her, then a short ride and a chain lube. Now it looks like rain so she is tucked back in the garage.

I had never used a clay bar before this... man am I sold on them, the whole bike is now smooth as glass its epic.

clay bars: great on bikes. major PITA on cars.

 

[Digasi]

Nothing major. Took her on a short ride. Wify took her on a short ride. Then because SV was getting dirty I washed her.
