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)

Didn't even fart on mine... cover is all nasty.. who wants to sit on that... stupid condo parkade is full of diesel exhaust soot and winter road dust...
Bike was brought back from the dead a couple weeks ago but then it has been shiddy rain ever since... what the hell is it with this past year... no riding from october to May and only a couple days since...
I'd ride it in the rain.. but I hate cleaning the bike again right after... and.. I have a new car.. so it is still fun to kill hondas in my focus ST
much nicer than my old old old Sentra SE-R Spec-V....
That and I need to get my new conti road attack-2 tires mounted to replace the very close to wear bar pilot powers I had... not bad a tire for what I spent... but if these Conti RA-2 tires are anything close to the original RA tires I had on my 99 SV I will be happy!

Took off the rear plastics on the old curvy, unplugged everything and plugged them back in a couple times because the battery wasn't charging while riding. Immediately the headlight is brighter and the bike isn't going sv325. Most likely the r/r wiring hmmm

Busy weekend in the garage.
Installed Woodcraft clip-ons.
Painted and installed a second hand S model front brake master cylinder and clutch perch.
Made a custom aluminum brake fluid reservoir mounting bracket.
Installed roll-a-click levers.
Installed Galfer SS braided lines. Going to replace them, as the ones for the S model are about 4" too long for use with aftermarket clip-ons.
Installed Renthal 32mm diameter grips.
Cleaned the front brake calipers.
Installed Speed Bleeder valves on the front calipers.
Bedlined my radiator side guard thingies.
Next weekend I'll be installing shorter Burkhart Racing dog bones, Race Tech .95 springs, fresh fork oil, TWF Racing clutch cable, frame sliders, DID 520 chain and Vortex sprockets. Now if I could just find some used Woodcraft rearsets, I'll be ready for the track. Sell me your rearsets! :icon_biggrin:

Oil changed today, did nothing horribly wrong and still ended up stripping the plug, guess I'll get a new one for next oil change. Also tightened up my mirrors, as apparently I never did after putting the bike back together this spring. Just kind of worked on getting her ready for this Canada Day weekend's trip.

I ran a few sets of those on my first gen. I was getting about 6k out of a rear. That of course, was when I lived in Savannah, Ga. Not a curve in 100 miles of that place...

Installed some cheap flush mount front signals to fill the holes in the front fairing. Didn't bother hooking them up because they won't be seen anyway.
