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)

Today I took my SV out for the first time. Haven't made it out onto real roads yet, but I'm getting around my complex pretty well, getting a feel for the balance, starting/stopping, and low speed turning. Just need a few more days of this before I head out for a 'real' ride!

Partially installed my SH775BA series regulator / rectifier. Just have to crimp together the battery side and stator side wire connections.

Have you considered relocating it to get better airflow for cooling? That seemed like one of the mistakes Suzuki made on the 650's that was corrected on the 1K's where the RR is alongside the front head in good strong airflow...and likely why they don't have RR problems so much. Don't know if the Series-type RR would tend to generate as much heat as the shunt-type does....just thought it would be worth a mention.

Today was oil change day. Rotella T6 and Purolator PL14459 oil filter, used in conjunction with a Bales adapter.
When writing down the oil change in my log book, I found out that I'm not riding enough, only 3k miles last year. I used to commute to work on my bike and put in 10k a year, but since the job went away, not enough riding is happening. Gotta fix that!!

The top silver ends of the forks. They have the notches on the side and the flat top notch to adjust the preload. They look to be set at different settings. Usually I believe they should match. It could just be the angle of the pic.

Test fit my fiberglass solo cowl that I've had forever. I never got around to painting it, I even have the color match paint :nosepick:
I'm going to try to paint it within a week or two depending on the weather. I have a lot going on right now but I'm promising myself I'll get it done. Need to fiddle with the mount a little to get it to sit right and not rattle around.

Oh yes I did! Around September 2012...... Facepalm for the laziness.
Going for SVotM of course! Gotta continue to do our club proud.
If you'd mount up a real Barrett it would go a LONG way to impressing the Judges. Being able to fire on the run an added bonus point.
