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)

My pride was fine as was I. Not even a scratch on my jacket but my helmet had all of the venting and wing plastic broken off.

Did they just drive off without even noticing? Did you get a plate?

oh yeah. It was like they didn't even notice what happened. Didn't speed up or slow down and by the time I was up and done throwing my helmet across the road I couldn't see their plate any longer. At least I could ride it home.......in third gear the whole way. :angry5: with no left rearset.:diaf:

Tonight I learned not all CHP are dicks, and that some understand the plight of the commuter motorcyclist.
Suffice to say, I got a quick flash of the spotlight instead of being pulled over after a brief period of speed in getting around a pack of cars.

i lowered my seat! by removing foam form the center..
the seat is much softer know the before, I like it!! and my feet can touch a little better.. removed ~1" of from from the center. looks the exact same as stock, but when you sit down it sinks further down more and when yout get off the vinal looks wrinkled for a 30 seconds until the foam expands back out again.. the best part of this method is if you don't like it you can just put the foam blocks back in and get it back to stock..
Tip- to put the cover back on with a stapler, use a heatgun to heat the plastic and staples will go in much easier! I used 1/4" T50 (Arrow) with a arrow Electric stapler. Before I used heat gun, the staples would just bend and not go in. .. after then sunk all the way in perfectly
