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)

Rebuilt all brake calipers, reinstalled, and bled brakes. Repacked grease in head bearing. Cleaned and adjusted chain. Installed some cheapie bar end mirrors that are actually pretty nice! Today was a good day!

Forgot to mention I also spent some money on an integrated tail light, hotbodies undertail, and Steve's aTRE. Unfortunately hotbodies said they wouldn't have the uncertain ready to ship until early January at best

I will really miss this little guy, definitely the best all-around bike in the world.

Dropped 3 ounces of SeaFoam in it and rode it to work for the fifth work day in a row.

Just got to thinking how long I've had the SV, so went and borrowed google to look it up...
945 days. I'm really close to 40k miles on the bike now, so (less the 6500 miles that was on it at the time) that's an average of 35 miles a day.
Whee!
Except for tonight's commute home, which is going to be wet. Boo. :-(

Fixed my oil leak and rode to work!
Turns out the stator cable rubber oil stop is a directional piece and has to be oriented a certain way. Who knew right!

Mini turn signals in front
Puig naked new windscreen
Blue brake and clutch levers
Round bar end mirrors
Pro grip tank pad
Blue backlight gauges
RK racing frame sliders
R6 taillight with fender eliminated
Red underglow tied into my brake light
Blue engineglow (with switch)
CustomTaylor33 rim tape
Needless to say, she's not going anywhere anytime soon.

Installed a FendaExtenda.

Haven't put the fender back on thanks to the OEM diagrams being wrong. It is a 6mm hex head socket, not a hex bolt. To the hardware store!

Also ripped off the lees-than-useful insulation on the underside of the tank. I was starting to fall in some areas.

Got some new tires mounted -
OK - I cheated - it's not for my SV project. It's for my Derbi project, though my SV project will have blue wheels also. The SV is next on the list of projects.
If you happen to be into Derbis (a what?), here's a thread highlighting what I'm doing to mine - http://www.bayareatwostroke.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4078

Wow, the bike sure is lighter without an engine in it.... Wheeled it out of the garage so I could clean chain crap off the frame and swingarm. Got that done so I took the swing arm off and cleaned the linkage and shock. Now I'm repacking the bearings with fresh grease so they're ready to go back in when the engine is done. It looks like the next time I do this I'll need to have new swingarm bearings and at least a left side spacer on standby. They're starting to show signs of wear. Too bad the M4 headers are smack in the way of everything or this would be a lot easier to do every year.
Edit: Boy did that link arm need it. The standard amber colored lithium grease I had used last time had become varying degrees of dark orange and black. repacked it with some white lithium grease I found at O'Riley's. Hopefully it'll survive better.
