Put the ZX14 shock on last night, washed it this morning and then went for a 65 mile shake down run. Quite the difference in the rear end! I need to do the front ASAP!

I also did a mod that will get me at least a billion more HP and top speed of 627 mph! What is it you ask? Well, you know those 2 wires that go to the clutch switch, the ones with the yellow stripe on them, I always hated how they looked "unfinished". All the other wires have heat shrink on them and those 2 sticking out don't! So, I put some heat shrink on them and they look way better! So at least 627 mph!

Huh. That's weird. They were finished on mine; s'pose the factory just didn't finish it?
That is weird! It just bugged the crap out of me that those 2 wires just dangled there. The hardest part was getting the connectors out of the plastic plug so the heat shrink would slide over them!;D
 
I washed my bike. Will clean chain friday.

Looking forward to this Sunday ocmoto.com ride. 79 bikes through Santiago Canyon and Live Oak Canyon (Trabuco), where I ride every weekend.

Was going to end at a park for a bbq but instead going to go to a Ruby's in So Laguna Beach.
Went to the ocmoto.com group ride this morning. 103 bikes, was a very organized ride, a couple of SVS, a lot of GSXR and Yamahas, Hondas and Kawasakis, Ducatis, 1 Aprilia and one HD Nightster. Had a great time.

See if you can spot me!
 
Washed it. Lubed and adjusted the chain.

Edit: Forgot I bled the front brakes again and flushed out the old crap in the rear brake.
 
took the brake lines off, put them back on.

one of the stupid galfer line was an inch too short, looks like the shop that I ordered them from sent me "S" length. Anyone with an SVS want a set of Galfer SS lines?
 
"Upgraded" my shifter.

OK, OK. I forgot to put the kickstand down and the shifter knob broke off. Gave me an excuse to add a tap and die kit to my collection of rarely used tools.

How much?
 
New fork seals, new grips, adjusted chain, adjusted clutch and lubed the cable.
 
I washed mine and then added 10hp.................SVR stickers, just the little one's I can't handle the hp gain of the big ones. It was actually yesterday but I'm calling it today, oh yeah and then I rode to Anacortes for the Oyster run.
