Put it into my super sturdy chock.

Wuamp Wuamp!! That sucks


This weekend I completed my headlight retrofit (I've also come to the realization that I need to get some better pictures of my SV)

Looks good! I've been saving my UK headlight assembly to eventually do this to.

Went for a day trip and eeked 199.7 miles out of the tank. The light didn't even go solid and I filled up with 3.63 gallons. Longest tank I've had in a while.

In the process of making an exhaust bracket for my 2nd gen without the cargo hook and rear peg mounts.

After cutting off the pieces and grinding/sanding smooth -


Next is blasting, prepping, and powder coating satin black to match the frame and the rest of the brackets on the bike.

Thanks to mad8vskillz for the donor bracket.

After media blasting -



Coated -



Installed -



I need to do the same for my project 1st gen, but it isn't going to be quite as easy with that one.

Wow, very cool. Clean look.

Replaced the water pump impeller/seals/bearings over the weekend while I had the cover off to put in a new Werks clutch basket. Doing the seals actually had me cussing a little, and it took a LOT longer than I'd thought going in. Not having the proper puller the bearings and seal needed some 'persuasion' to get out with a hammer and punch, and that mechanical seal was IN there! But in the end, we got it done and it doesn't leak...so it's a happy bike now. And it LOVES the new clutch basket! Sucker runs smooth at high revs like an electric motor which it did not do before. Basket must have been wobbling and/or out of balance..both of which the Werks corrected. Just amazing how nice it made the ride...kicking myself for waiting so long to upgrade the basket.

a good bath and a new carbon fibre front fender

 

[morgantm]

Bought it a friend

2005 with 2100 miles on it...$1800!!

 

[sath182]

Now that's a find! Here's hoping you have no issues.

Me too.. I keep waiting for something to pop up. Put 40 miles on the way tonight and it ran great so we will see... Picked it up of a young kid that bought it a month ago and wants something faster. He dropped it twice, broke the shift lever and scratched the tank and yet he wants to upgrade to a GSXR 1000 lol.

Rode the **** out of it for a week, split between my two favourite tracks.

Installed fresh front PR3 on street wheel. Swapped track wheels to street wheels. Put plate on. Put on some lights.

Loaded up gear to provide mobile tire changing services for the wee ninja.

Once fresh scooter tire was on, loaded rest of camping gear...

Eventually mule service was somewhat more distributed.

Tired.

how is the clutch feel. Mine is like an on off switch. Also I work in Uniontown (across from NAPA) and I ride my SV to work often.

Flat black grab bar thingy. Started painting the various fasteners black along with the awkward purple part of the bug shield. Bikemaster superbike bars, black levers, bar end mirrors, Delkevic muffler, flat black head light, black signals... Soon all the shiney will be black.
