Started the afternoon off with a throttle play adjustment and idle speed tweak. Then, I gave her a nice ride up US Rt. 19 to Waynesburg, back down I-79 to Kirby (construction was on that leg of 19), then Rt. 19 back into Morgantown. After that, a nice coat of wax with extra attention where a previous owner spilt gas on her tank and didn't clean it up. She's cooling down now so I can re-check her oil level later.

Adjusted my Valves :( and started putting stuff back togeather from painting it. Came out decent, ill see if I can stand the clear down so I can get rid of the tiny orange peelyness. But all and all, it looks pretty cool. Green tank (like kawi green), everything else black exept inside the upper fairing (2nd gen) where it divits in, thats green. It looks pretty cool like that.
 
Wired the stock taillights back on. Previous owner had dim turn signals that were semi-flush to go with his saddlebags. Did it right too, solder and heat shrink. After that a short ride, but its getting colder here fast.

Installed my stompgrip yesterday. Put a couple coats of paint on the tail section. Going to wet sand today and hopefully start the clear tomorrow.
 
After a few months, I finally get off my bottom and modify my Buell XB footpegs to fit on my SV. Made all the appropriate adjustments (especially the brake light switch). Good to go.

Put one new front cowl, lower fairing, mirror, 2 turn signals, shifter, clutch lever, and rear set from a low side. Also put one leo vince slip on, r & g sliders, pair valve eliminator, conti road attacks and gipro. Ready to ride again!

Added an R6 throttle tube and got the throttle play in the lower end of in spec. Feels MUCH better now. After that, I got a new cover for it, just a cheap double sided tarp. Would've bought a nicer one, but I think I'm going to be moving...maybe into a house with a garage... soon.

I changed the oil and oil filter today. During this I realized that my bike is FILTHY! I need to clean it very soon.
 
Oh yeah Eh, on my Malibu ride a guy from Quebec (truckdriver) was riding a rental bike, wanted a Ducati and got a Interceptor, pulled up next to me and asked where we were going? I told him to come along with us, we're going ridin'. :D

Washed and waxed my bike

Also put my CF side panels on

Put on my CF M4 exhaust, which sounds amazing.

Then gave it a good wash and wax.

Wow that's rough. Good to hear they came out alright. If pride is their worst injury it's still a good day.
