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)

Most people wouldn't think it, but a gear indicator is actually surprisingly nice to have.

Put the bike entirely back together. New front end including steering head bearings, and some miscellaneous parts around the bike. Took it for its first ride in 4 weeks, and noticed some issues 
The front wheel is bent slightly, and makes a noticeable vibration at speed. No idea what I'm going to do about that besides buy a new one.

And the clutch cable snapped whenever I went to start it up this morning. Jesus, I'm almost too frustrated at this point to keep fixing these issues.

Great work and reasonable prices. His communication skills are a bit weak but worth the effort.

What's the turnaround for him? Can I send the wheel with the tire still on there?
Or would I just be better served buying another wheel on Ebay?

You could call and ask the guy himself these questions. It's still good to get a review of a customer though.

The wheel needs to be stripped (tire and rotors removed) and this time of year the turn around us usually less than two weeks.
I have had wheels repaired that were bent so bad that they were cracked and they came back looking like new. He has also repaired rotors that were visibly bent that came back with less runout than the spec on new parts.
I would call wills shop and ask. I know that if you include payment and return shipping he can turn it around quicker. I never tried this as I simply gathered up all the wheels and rotors from my extended group of friends and shipped everything at once.
