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)

Did a little dance around her;D....
Then placed the new engine and waterpump gaskets and parts down, and returned to studying:'(
Two more weeks and it's all about the SV again!

-Brought my bike to work in thirty-six degree weather... with my bike.
-Got the black crg brake lever exchanged for the correct gray one and that red light on the headlight bucket is my functioning low fuel light! (what a pain in the arse that was)
-Oh, and I got a new ride. It's sweet.

Sweet....You should get together with DWayne. I think he transports his bike on his V-Strom.
I saw a guy in VAB with his bike harnessed to the side of his BMW bike.
I live 25 miles from work, cycling is out of the question however I do "MTFU" every now and again in this weather and ride the bike. I need better gloves or heated grips!It's been below freezing here for 2 months, you big poofter ;D The only time I've not ridden the SV to work where the days I decided to MTFU and cycle instead

Ya, I'm waiting for Johnny racks to finish the production sv650 bike rack so I can get one. They make one for the 'stroms and several bmw models. That would make it so I don't have to get creative with bungie cords and duct tape next time.

put the baffle in the street extreme, noticed it was leaking at the bottom of the midpipe. broke the clamp holding the midpipe to the header, went to OSH and bought a hose clamp to replace it. yay. resealed top and bottom of midpipe and remounted can. will work till i can replace can. (damaged in crash)
looked at the parts that need to be removed to blackout the headlight ring, headlight brackets, and holeshot flyscreen brackets..... and it just isnt gonna happen. too much work, and there will still be alot of silver bits up there afterwards.

I just can't leave her alone in the garage all apart and vulnerable for to many days
I removed the magneto cover and cylinders. Did some more clean up. Verified that all the right gaskests came.
Anyone have tips for cleaning off the gasket material left by the clutch or magento gaskets? All of the other's seem to have come off completely intact.

You can get it at your local auto zone or the likes. Just be careful where you spray it and read the label first

Wheel stripes

Well going with the topic, today i mounted my new LED flush turning signals to my new Puig streetfighter fairing (CV-5). The kits is unbelievably awesome. Tomorrow I should be able to get all the electrical soldered together and get the fairing mounted up. Also with that I just got my pro tapers ( 7/8 ) cut down and mounted on. They look great on there with the matte black finish.

Purchased a tri stage paint to match the factory 04 yellow pearl. I am then going to paint my targa seat cover I just picked up for 70 bucks, and undertail that was originally black, and a new tire hugger. I think its gonna come out really nice. The targa seat cover is TEN TIMES better then the suzuki factory one. Fully adjustable to fit tight to the fender.
Then Im gonna finish my home made alarm, and start building my custom bottle rocket launchers out my tail end....lol.....work in progress!
