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)

Got pulled over on it! 
78mph in a 75 zone. :dontknow: State trooper was cool and only gave a warning so no complaints from me. He has to do his job too.

In the DFW area I believe the reason you got pulled over for 78, was you were obstructing traffic. He might have also thought you were stoned driving that slow.Got pulled over on it!

Ya, when i rude in or through Dallas I do a minimum of 85 and still get passed some even with the 65 zones. I'm not really mad at the guy, he didn't hold me up for more than a three minutes or so was probably just checking that i had the M endorsement.

Finished sanding my fairings. Moved on to repairing the cracks and scratches in the fairings. Then changed the oil. Took her for the first ride of the year and then the bike and I got a spontaneous cold shower. Found out that my tank bag is great for holding water. And worse yet didn't find a tag for svrider motorcycle picture game 2.0!
Now I am off to dry off.

Got my project 1st gen SV's tank roughed-out.
Started pretty close to this, just not quite as caved-in -
It was primed when I got it, so I thought it was a good idea to see what it was hiding. Turns out it was crushed in about an inch, and the rookies filled the dent with body filler without roughing it out at all.
I used a stud-type dent puller, and worked the dent out to the point where it will only need minimal filler -
Next step is completely blasting the tank and some more grinding for the high temp filler area, then applying a powder primer, sanding the primer, then a "Suzuki Blue" powder topcoat.
The plan is "Suzuki Blue" on the tank, tail, and wheels. After that, I plan to do the frame and swingarm in charcoal with satin clear.
