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)

Nope, sold it. I'm just going to roll with the idiot lights. I'll reconnect the stock gauge plug so if I ever need to read error codes, I can just plug in a stock cluster(that I don't have either) and trouble shoot. I've ridden for ages with no speedo and a few months with no tach; the sound of the motor is all I need!
Also, added some custom dent and scratch work to my 'other bike.' I cleared the first one like a pro... then crashed into the second.

Part of the www.gergia-cross.com series. That was the first race I did this year (on my SS 29er) in Rome, GA. Some of the best riding I've done this year even though I was up until 5am the previous night drinking. They had the course setup on the levy system by the river with all sorts of off camber turns. The barriers were the best though. On my first lap, someone on the hill shouted "bunny hop it!" as I was approaching the barriers. I thought, "yea, okay. They can't be that close together." I was wrong. I jumped the first barrier into the second and that f'er didn't budge.
Through the woods after I ran over a dude that fell on the climb. (You can see him in the background)
And to keep it on topic, Another shot of the tech spec pads and my leds zip tied to the CRG:

Had a good weekend in that I FINALLY got the emulators off my tool box and in my forks. Also put on new chain/sprockets with the help of mr. danny hull and his chain riveting tool. Threw new oil and filter on the beast in time to do some blocking for the SLO county toy run.

A seriously good time with all types of riders.
Filled up a good portion of a big uhaul with gifts for the local kids.

hey hey. so lately i've been thinking of throwing some fog lights on the bike cause i always manage to find deer at night. . . well and it gets crazy foggy around here. bah, anyway, i looked over the bike and found that the little mounting spots for the reflectors on the fork are pretty beasty. suz musta wanted to make sure they were definately secure or something... but yeah so i rocked out a couple o lights off o the brackets and they shine pretty nice. they don't actually look out of place so much, but i suppose what i am really tryin to get at is who else has done something like that and what kind o lights didja use? eh.

g'ah! so symmetrical and evenly applied on the tank. I was too eager to add my Tech Specs and one side is lower than the other

Oh wow...I thought that it was going to be next week. We're looking at doing that ...but maybe we got out schedules off. ??? Or maybe our town is a week behind yours. I won't have the SV, but since I can't play hookie before my flight to NorCal, it'll just be nice to be on a bike! I think I've only ridden 2-up once this year.

You do know you can peel them off an re-apply. It took me about 15 tries to get the second one on in the mirror image of the first. I'm still not sure it's perfect, but I finally gave up with it good enough. Just make sure everything is nice and clean, and when you first start to peel, that the adhesive stays with the pad.

Bought a 525 chain and sprocket kit (15/47), R&K chain rivet tool, silver racing rear sets and swing arm sliders from SVracing parts. Thanks Blair for the good deal! Now I will just wait to get the parts in the mail. Then will install all of them when they arrive and post pictures.
Also finished my shopping for the SVR Christmas exchange.

I actually rode mine! It was almost 50 today, so I took it down to the local commuter lot for some parking lot shenanigans - slow speed turning, emergency braking, etc. Actually lofted the rear wheel a little once. Got dizzy a couple of times trying to tighten the circles down.
Vaughan: I know you are doing well without the speedometer, but you might want to look into hooking up a bicycle cyclometer. I've done it on a couple bikes. A little imagination, some zip-ties and maybe some JB Weld, and you are good to go. With the adjustments for wheel/tire circumference, you can get a small, dead-nuts on speedo for about $30 or so.
