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)

I'm actually only a couple of steps away from
converting it over to a vstrom for short people!
All I need are some more aggressive tires, and
some fender extenders! :icon_biggrin: Well, with out all the
fairings...

I could sure use a set of front and rear failings, my lowers are great, but the PO decided to rattle can the rest.... It was ugly, and I can only clean up bad so well....
I also have a cracked upper, no idea how, because thers is no evidence of rash so.
Did a detail on my bike today. Did a full decontamination, 2 steps paint correction consisting of compounding and polishing and finished it off with a Ceramic Paint Coating.

Pulled the front wheel off of the project bike. It had been sitting exposed to the elements for a few years before I got it, so I was surprised it cleaned up as well as it did, and fairly easily. The clean pic was the side I did in about 5 min with a greenie and Simple Green.

I love that color scheme and wish that model wasn't so hard to find. One of these days I'm going to get one and make it naked.
Thanks, actually just got back from putting ~100 miles on it today! Rode down to a local shop's open house.
I really like the color scheme with the black frame and stripes. I was lucky enough to find a super low mile example locally for an unreal price!
So I've heard! It has a ceramic coating on it now to prevent oxidation, etching, an some slight scratching/marring but I am an avid detailer so it will stay in tip top shape.

Very jealous of that paint, just got finished up with a mild detail myself. Medium cut compound, polish and two coats of wax really do wonders.

It really does. Funny enough, I didn't know the white stripes on mine had flake in them until I hit it with the first pass of compound. It really pops now in the sun.

Amen, same with my yellow, especially the tank. Was a whole new bike after the medium cut although I still have this stupid looking tank protector I need to ditch.

I gave her new clothes.
One of my winter projects was a respray. Still a couple details to finish up, but I'm happy with the result. It was the 06 red.
Color swap looks great. Did you do everything on your own?

Yes, all of it. Definitely a time consuming project, but not difficult at all.
