Fitted my 5.5" Marvic Penta magnesium wheel to the bike. It took a little machining of the cush drive along with 17mm axle adapters/spacers, to get the wheel centered. I also had to machine the caliper bracket to line it up, but I'm planning to make a complete new bracket so that is a little stronger and it stays lined up when the wheel is off.

He's gonna put both motors in one frame. Homemade VFR :p
For some reason....I immediately picture 2 RX7 rotary engines powering my little SV:eek:;D:eek:


Oh....I cleaned up the gasket surfaces and reassembled the water pump with all new seals and gaskets!!
 
rode home in the pouring rain, rewired and relocated my GI pro ATRE after it cut out on me. adjusted my clutch, drank some beer, cleaned my air filter, inflated tires (love my air compressor) debafled the street extreme. (cant help it, it sounds so good)

still need to replace the rashed can, but i cant decide on another stainless scorp street extreme but with a carbon tip, or something else. also ordering r6 throttle tube tonight, and new motrax bar end mirrors and v-strom handguards to replace my crash damaged stuff. plus more oil and chain lube on saturday. it never ends
 
Got rid of the clip ons I used to use for racing, and installed a clubman style handlebar. Also reset fork height to factory- Race tech springs, shims, and new fork seals. Last, replaced the tires with Pilot Road 2 dual compounds front and rear.
 
I'm trying to clean up the dang chain a bit after I installed my new clutch shift rod, the one I made. Works great from what I can tell. Anyway, trying to pull the chain I cut my knuckle pretty good. Blood spraying everywhere, ok not that bad. Still can't ride though. Argh.
 
Can we get some pics of that license plate light setup?
ac
it is the stock plate light removed from the rear fender. there is a gap between frame and undertail to run the wire to stock conector. l bracket mounted to to plate hole and back of light. i'll try to get a pick tonight
 
Ahh, christ, what did I do on my bike...well, today I ordered parts for it. But recently on the trackbike, I went from this:

More to come as I have money to buy more parts.
 
Started it and let it warm up, it rained all day today. Looks like the clouds are starting to clear up.

This Sunday is a ride with the ocmoto guys, and there are 3 SVRiders going!

Finally, I get to ride with some SVR peoples. :D
