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)

Yesterday: finished the welding on the new subframe. Basically just the end plate where the seat latch attaches, and 6 little tabs to mount the undertail to. Primered it.
Today: painted it, drilled the holes for the seat latch and mounted it, made a bracket for and mounted the taillight.

Still need to make the undertail, I have the aluminum but no good way of cutting it accurately.

The curves on the tail match the tank nicely!

Sadly just looked at it b/c it was too hot to ride once again today! That's the only the bad thing of now have another form of transportation, I cop out so easily. I remember the first year of having SV, I'd ride anytime, any temp and anywhere, b/c I had no choice. Now it's like too far gotta drive, too hot/cold gotta drive and too late gotta drive. I'm such a wuss!

Bought my second SV yesterday. After 2 years with my beloved 650 that ended up in an head-on crash with a car, I got myself a 1000!

A matching 07 blue front fairing is harder than ya think to come by!
I'll trade ya, I have an 07' SVS blue fender that I'd like to paint gloss black.
... and my bar end mirrors came in, waiting on my 7" round headlamp.

My 05: Installed the newly painted rear MC and then blead the rear brake. Also lowered the vortex rearsets to the lower middle position.

Let us know how that Sargent seat works out for you. That is on my short list (okay, I have a long list, not a short list) of improvements I want to do to my bike.
By the way, I was out in the Pittsburgh area a week or two ago. I'll have to let you know when I'm out your way next time and we can meet up and ride... Or grab a Starbucks coffee or something. :headbang:

about to take my bike out for a spin maybe watch the sun come up.. I cant sleep hence why I am on the forum... Girl problems keeping me up... Tomorrow is another day... LOL
ccasion14: Keep your head up, brother. Girls are shady but you can always depend on a new day to come around.Today I rerouted the speedo wire and popped in fresh EBC HH rear pads in order to pass tech inspection.
Went to bed at 130AM, woke up every hour due to jetlag. Said, '**** it' and now I'm up.

Sounds like its time to drill it out and use a heli-coil.

I don't own an HD, Ducati, Aprilia, MV or KTM. I'm not allowed in the Starbucks parking lot.
...and yea, I know what you mean by 'long list'. So much to spend, so much to spend.
