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)

Just received and installed a set of chrome BikeMaster Daytona bars. After the install of my rear set riser plates, I realized that anything and everything should be adjusted until the whole bike feels just right.
Oh yeah, cutting 1.25" from each end and the levers barely fit. And I mean barely. Can't wait to try it out.

Gave it a pretty thorough cleaning. Waxed with Turtle Wax Ice. I really like that stuff. Stuck on the Tech Spec pads, which wasn't as easy as I had hoped it might be, and painted a couple things flat black for practice.
Paint didn't turn out horrible, so I will attack the radiator guards next.
Edit: Yesterday, when I put on the Tech Spec pads, I noticed the front of the pads weren't sticking to the tank like the should. I thought I solved the problem with some painter's tape holding the offending edges down so the adhesive would have time set. This morning, I go to get on the bike to ride it to work, and the pads had come off from everywhere the tape wasn't. I peeled them off, and since I didn't have any wax paper, I stuffed them into individual zip-lock bags to try to save the glue until I can try again.

you waxed the bike and then tried to stick something to it??
that's the problem.... get some alcohol and give it a quick wipe in the area you want to stick to... then wipe it down with water to clear the alcohol and let it dry... apply the sticker/pad/whatever and it will stay on no problem
