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)

Thought about selling one of them again. Probably the sbk. I keep wanting a Sumo for when I trailer up to the mountains.

What pipe is that? I'm torn between getting something like what you have or a stubby, but don't want to get a ticket for noise violations every time I go downtown. Anyways, your bike looks really good!Single rate. Progressive is dangerous for wheelies but I hear it helps for bunny hops.
Today I washed my car and SV. I haven't driven the car in a few years. There was a dead/partially decomped bird under it. I'm sure that's a sign of good luck.

- EDIT: I forgot to add what I did to mine today - I bought a new front master cylinder reservoir because the one that came with my bike was snapped off by the previous owner.
Danmoto GP Extreme. Even with toast packing, it passes noise tests with room to spare. Still louder than I would like though.
+ Cheap
+ Nice welds
- Need to cut/weld to repack
- Exhaust strap melted to it
- Exhaust clamp started rotting
- Exhaust springs were way too weak

Installed delkevics 200mm stubby slip on. Now the agony of waiting for the copper rtv to dry...
Word of caution... scrapped mine off the truck a few years ago after the sun got to it.
In the following days I had to replace a well-bloated 3 month old battery, upper and lower ball joints, drag link and a serpentine idler pulley. The shocks began leaking and the fuel consumption rose by 34%. Unable to quickly locate a suitable replacement decal I traded the truck for a new Tacoma.
Don't make the same $25,000 mistake I made. The decal is a commitment to excellence... To be proudly displayed and never forsaken.
I hear you, we have some great sponsors here and I hold my Moto Sliders in almost supernatural regard. I have earned several parts scattering trips down the track but have miraculously kept it off the tarmac every time.
"If you have it you wont need it" is the Wife's mantra when it comes to protection... bike AND body.
Side Note: My boss brought another brand over to the house for me to install.. I marked his fairing and handed him a hole saw. "Good luck, but I'm not touching those" I told him. He butchered his fairing and got them on. Unfortunately they broke during a low-side 2 weeks later. He saved $50 but converted his bike to a, "Street Fighter."

Completely reworked my 06-07 GSXR front suspension with Racetech top to bottom. I couldn't show some love to the front without doing the same for the rear, so my Elka stage 4 finally came in and got it installed the other day.
