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)

^R.I.P. footpeg spring.
Activated sport-touring mode for me, headed home to CO on Wednesday:
Put on my luggage nice and snug, set up the underseat with more road-trip essentials (tire patch kit, pump, extra fasteners, etc. Reinstalled my ZG Sport Touring Screen.
Changed Coolant and flushed the system. Discovered that my radiator-to-reservoir hose was clogged with this gnarly, booger-green plug of ...? Wish I took a picture, it was like squeezing a tube of toothpaste.
Installed a USB outlet onto my distro-block. Just put the plug under the seat for now... who knows where it'll end up or if I'll ever use it. But good just in case.

After some advice from a few people about my battery leaking problems, I took the solution from locoblanco and got the ETX12 from O'Reilly. A little bit of a stretch for the cable connectors to fit on the new type of post but I got it to work and this battery looks and feels pretty solid. The store employees said: "This is one of the best ones we have". I also cleaned the connectors with the baking soda and water solution loco suggested as well. Thanks for the tip.
Got my plate lights on after the one that came with the bike wasn't working.

It was about not having a GoPro, and therefore not being able to take a certain KIND of real cool shot. ;D
These were taken stopped, with both feet on the ground.
