back to the topic at hand, rode it until it was almost out of gas this afternoon so I could take the tank off (going to repolish the steel a different way and try a blackener with a clearcoat over it) and not have to worry about getting all the gas out, which was a total pain last time.

Got my quickshifter installed this morning...ready to tune it this weekend

 

[Frogfish]

ripped off her clothes. Will be streetfightering her. Next is modifying the top yoke for renthal bars, ignition relocation, and wiring up the Trailtech vapor and mt-03 headlight

new SVRacing rearsets too! The shifter has since been adjusted

I corrected my odometer today. My odometer used to read about 2% high, which bugged me. After installing the speedoDRD to correct my speedometer, the odometer now reads precisely 7.26% low (after many long recorded distances). Getting cheated out of miles has been bugging me, so I figured out how many miles low my odometer was and then I set my speedoDRD to +99.9% with a 99 multiplier. As soon as I got moving, literally like 1-2mph, the speedometer read 186mph. :lmao:

I needed to add about 1850 miles to correct it. With the speedoDRd set to hyperdrive, I added on 1850 miles in 79 real miles. It was entertaining to watch the miles climb like that. As of today, my mileage is correct at 43,737. Of course, it's still 7.26% off, so I'll have to do this every so often. First world problems...

oiled the chain with some ATF.

Rode for about 70miles and damn I love the sound and feel of my thou!

 

[mad8vskillz]

figured out that the reason the bike was so shiny was because it had a pretty bad wreck at some point and a bunch of parts were replaced. not mad though, got a great deal and it is in very nice shape currently

I did this!

fake Brembos?

Yep! :icon_biggrin:

I think it would have been cooler if it said "dumbo" in that font.
Why the fake brembo stickers?

 

[dry_humor]

finally got around to changing the front sprocket now that the stable is back in order. i read SOOOOOO many horror stories about the threads getting galled up during removal of the nut, but it came off pretty as you please without any problems. i was able to reuse the old nut and washer as well. did a minor clutch adjustment and cleaned/lubed/adjusted the chain as well. can't wait to enjoy the fruits of my labor tomorrow .

I 'bricked' my SV today.. tried to update power commander firmware and ended up locking my power commander, now my bike won't start at all, and can't get the power commander to power on :| Unconnected the battery terminals leading to the PC and it still wont fire up...

 

[mattman912]

Switched out my road 2 for my slightly used power pure since the road 2 decided to show cords after at least 11k miles of mostly hgwy commuting. Gonna be switching to a fresh set of q3's next month to get ready mfor the FL rally.

I just finished installing a new Delkevic radiator and a 1st gen fan. I got the fan for 20 bucks, so had to settle for a first gen. Awesome! My new handlenars should be here tomorrow and then the bike'll be roadworthy again!

 

[C-10 Aldehyde]

Started the tear down of the track bike for a full overhaul and general clean up of its appearance. Subframe got a bit tweaked in the last crash.

Yep! :icon_biggrin:

You're ****ting me, right? Excuse me while I sit back, point at you, and laugh.

I'll be mounting these *real* Brembos (paid $125 for them) on my Harley project. Surely you can do better than that.

Finished installing ZX 14 shock, TWF mod rods. Knock off emulators. .90 springs and 15 wt oil. Without even turning any knobs or thinking about fine tuning I am amazingly impressed that my bike handles again.

It rode more stable with my fiancé and me today than it did yesterday by myself. I can actually use my brakes some why aggressively without wallowing and getting punched by the rebound.

Pulled the jank rear subframe. Disassembled, cleaned, and refreshed fork legs and painted the lowers.

 

[Umbrella Corp]

I logged on to the forum for more info.
Ordered new clutch perch for cable. Replaced both handlebar grips to match red theme. Installed both red handles to bike. Installed voltage meter to speedometer and wired into existing harness. Finally finished making the new brackets for the single headlamp.

I took apart the rear suspension, planning on installing an '08 gsxr 750 shock. Then I realized I had no way to cut the toolbox. So I reassembled the bike with the stock shock. Trip to the hardware store planned sometime soon. Need a cutter wheel for the dremel, and a couple stainless fasteners.

I find the oscillating tool works well for cutting battery box

fake brembos are killing me. what is the point of that? the only people who will be impressed are people who don't know $hit about bikes.
