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 kinda on the fence on if that's something I want to tackle in the future. I think a dark pearl red, like a Scarlett would look bad ass. Dod you rattle can or get a decent spray gun to do the color?

I used this gun. Super low air requirements.
This paint.
This clearcoat.
The only rattle can clear that will hold up to gasoline is the 2K clear in special cans. By time you purchase those you are nearly at the price of the gun I used, and you would still have to rattle can your base coat which will suck. The gun gives way more control.

Getting ready for an extended weekend at Myrtle Beach.
Did the chain today, not much else to do except gas and
go on Friday morning! Might hit it with the old Pro Honda Polish
Cleaner, but not going to go crazy cleaning it since we will
run in to storms off and on.

Wondering how old the chain is? Looks like a couple tight links right behind the footpeg?Oil change with new drain plug and new front tire installed.

Damn, I have no idea how you caught that. I need to post some pictures of mine so you can see if anything looks screwed up!

Not very, just needs a little lube. They aren't tight, just a little sticky. Moved easily when I flexed them.

Great job with the detailing!
Oh...good!
Figured you were keeping an eye on the chain...but just had to mention seeing the links holding position like they were.

Amen to that. It's been hotter than hell or raining here in Chicago. Not great biking weather at all.

Pulled the front wheel to get my new Pilot Power RS installed today. Cleaned the brake calipers and installed new Vesrah RJL pads. I was surprised at how much brake dust was stuck to the exposed areas of the pistons, and how difficult it was to remove. Cleaned and lubed the sliding pins also.
Next is pulling the forks and installing the correct rate Sonic Springs and new fluid. Then the new Ohlins rear shock goes on.
I'm hoping the new suspension will be a noticeable improvement.
