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)

Watched the rain fall on its little home, and heard freezing temps would be here on Thursday.
Yesterday took it for a wee little ride. ;D

Muffler "bearing" repack pics...
All the parts after getting the old packing and the worn out SS off the diffuser:

Getting ready to re-wrapt with the SS wool.

Prepared to wrap with the fiberglass matt..

Today nothing but quite a bit over the last couple of weeks:
-Oil changed on both bikes
On street bike
-replaced levers with adjustable ones (from 434racer.com)
-replaced rear seat with seat cowl
On race bike
-replaced coolant with engine ice
-replaced oil drain plug and filler cap with PSR pre safety wired ones
-put on a new (stock) clutch lever to replace the short CRG one (small/weak hands, need the extra length)
-changed the front sprocket from 16t to 14t (had to shorten the chain and I just put on the rivet master link for the first time)
-bled brakes with Motul RBF600
-Re-packed the muffler (only half of it had packing and it was ruined)
-created a makeshift shield for all the electronics under the seat. (it's not pretty but it'll work)
-put on some Vesrah SRJL-17 pads up front and new caliper hardware
-With some help from a friend we cleaned out the front calipers using an ultrasonic cleaner and rebuilt the calipers.
-That same friend also helped me get the jetting right and synced the carbs.
-Replaced the throttle cable as the original was way too long and it was rubbing on the bodywork.
-Put on a new windscreen, the old one broke in a corner and I had a sharp corner pointed at my neck so I decided to just get a new one.
Next up is:
-replace the crappy stock rear shock on the street bike with a zx10r shock (whenever one of my friends gets to upgrading his zx10r)
-replace the nylon screws holding my bodywork together on the race bike with DZUS tabs.
-Drill holes in caliper bolts and safety wire everything on the race bike.

I hit a patch of gravel which resulted in myself and my sv going down 
Broke the end of the rear brake pedal off, snapped the front brake lever off, broke the glass on the right crg bar end mirror, warped the metal ring around the headlight, and put a new dent in the tank. Pretty bummed as I haven't even had it a whole week, but it should be rideable Tuesday if all my parts come in.
