Finished painting a fender. Have to mount it up still.

 

Paint looks good :thumbsup:

 

Thanks. 3 coats of primer. 4 primary color and 3 clear.

 

Nice color, that should look sharp on the bike when it's all done.

 

The UPS guy dropped off a little gift for me

Sharkskinz, almost too excited to go to school tonight!! ;D I will have to work on it tomorrow

 

What are those holes in the front of the upper? I think you might need to fill those in.

 

started it up,temped up the hyper lite turn signals. getting close to 1st of season ride

 

Made a distribution block to clean up all the stuff I had running to the battery.

seems to work well.

 

Is there a relay somewhere in the mix, or are all your add-ons constantly powered?

Working on dropping the motors out of the 2G and the 1G

 

Installed my fork protectors and nabbed a 636 shock.

 

Actually I was not aware that when I put the 2 VW horns on the bike that I was gonna need a relay, Then after a couple of months I started blowing a fuse . Come to find out the culprit was lack of a relay. Tonight I am wiring up a relay for the zx-6 cause I just put on two Fiamm horns.
But I notice a big difference in volume between the Fiamms and DUB horns .The VW units are way louder I am gonna have to get a tone meter out to see what the 2 VW tones are VS. (i forget) the tones of the Fiamms I picked up.

 

Made sure the sharkskinz fit, had to drill and tap a hole. They seem to fit quite well. Disassembled all the bodywork to be taken to get painted.

 

No motosliders?
You should pick up a set of the new ones for full lowers and cut the fairings to fit.

 

^^^The Sharkskinz look so much better than the stock lowers tacked on below the upper. With a good paint job, you can't help but be pleased with the results. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

 

GPS mount came today. Gotta get a few things done. 8 days to get about 30 things done yet before leaving for vacation. And still no test ride due to weather.

 

I will continue to update my progress, I have put in lots of time this winter and am extremely excited to get it completed.

 

I dropped off the body work for paint.

 

I looked at my bike.

 

I waited until no one was around in my parkade..... and then did a doughnut at the end where no cars were, then I reved it a couple times and drove it back to my stall..... <<<SIGH>>> :'( G O D D A M N SNOW!!!!

 

Bought another one

 

You're worse than me. My problem is I keep them instead of parting them.

 

It wasn't ~today~ actually, but just a couple days ago I finished up my conversion to bars from clip ons - a conversion done by a previous owner. I put on bikemaster superbike bars in black and they look and feek great. I also replaced the front brake lines with galfer SS braided, replaced the front signals with the LEDs, painted the headlight/signal bracket, installed R6 throttle tube, and installed new grips.

It is a lot more comfortable position but what I am so surprised about is how the dynamics of the ride changed so much. Cornering feels weird without me hunched over the front of the bike. There's a lot more of my hefty weight on the back tire now, emphasizing the need to replace the rear shock even more. Plus my arse hurts in a different place, and more quickly, than with clips. This will take some getting use to!

 

I rode it!

 

Washed and waxed her, finally.

 

I thought about it, I have a generic set but they mount more forward than I wanted them. What bolt do the motosliders attach to? Is it the bolt that runs all the way through the side of the engine block?

 

They've released a new design for full-faired SV's- see here: http://forum.svrider.com/showthread.php?t=95281

 

The sharkskinz will have to be cut regardless of which Motosliders that are selected.


Headed downstairs for a quick oil change and maybe a test ride. Another winter storm coming in tomorrow, not going to be pretty.
