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)

I checked my TPS maint, installed TRE mod (thanks EfiniX), washed her, and got it ready for a little trip to the twisties in the morning...and tried to unhook the pull clutch to start switch, but it doesn't work with the TRE mod...
Straightened my forks in the triples. Pulled the can and midpipe off to start the 'rework.' Determined that my bars are bent, just very slightly. Gathered some parts up to take to the powdercoater.
killed the battery chasing down a faulty ground in the left rear turn signal... took the seats off, charged it, and added a well insulated hot line out to the passenger seat so next time won't be such a hassle. i should just buy a 2nd pig-tail for my battery tender (which is used on my Ninja).
Got lucky and noticed the battery tender pigtails at my local shop yesterday, so I bought one and installed it on the SV like I should have a long time ago.
washed that baby, and cleaned the chain. was gonna put the bra back on but as much as it rains i heitate. does anyone here know any tricks for drying out a wet tank bra. my bike is not cover and gets wet when it rains. i left the bra on wet a while back and it left paint marks on the tank that i had to sand out.
I finally got around to doing the TPS adjustment, mounting the compressor for my Stebel Nautilus, and I'm on the tail end of the shock swap. (I have it in, just modding the battery compartment to fit)
Tomorrow I'll try to get a socket for the front axle so I can put in my new springs and oil. I tried to break it loose with a bolt head in there backwards, but it's REALLY tight.
Put on some Motrax CF bar ends, and had to mill down the bottoms of them so they butted up properly against the helibars. Actually really like them as they have genuine CF bands around them. Pretty subtle upgrade to the look of the bike. Oh and I rode it a lot today!
installed the viper micron exhaust, anyone know where i can get some ear plugs.. lol
but i do think i can stand up to some choppers now.. i like to think of it as a safety feature, (ppl/cars/anything else) will hear me coming down the road.
ZX-10R Shock and a Fender eliminator from Racinteach on the SocalSV forum. Decided to spend my money domestically rather than the OEM FE kit.
His is well thought out and well made. I recommend.
man was I busy this morning! Adjusted headlights, new plugs, replaced rotor for the speed sensor, hugger installed, rear shock adjusted, and r6 throttle tube installed. Now just gotta find time to install the new sonic springs and I'm golden!
painted the bracket that Suzuki for got to do at the factory. The one from the frame to the rear master cylinder. I'd do more but my rib is broken. Time for another vicodin!
Today I popped an old Rennsport rear tyre on for a trackday on monday, swapped the rear cam chain tensioner for a K3 one, and started fitting the wiring for my new Veypor V2 (the old one broke out of warranty but Veypor sold me a replacement at cost, which was very cool of them considering mine was the old model). But then I suddenly lost interest at 8pm and barely even managed to stir myself enough to drag all my tools into the garage ;D
Changed the oil yesterday to prep for this weekend at Little Talladega.
Helped a fellow SVer put a rear tire on his yesterday too
