November 2009 SVotM Winner - VTWINPOWER

WOW,Thank you all,It is a privilege to be part of this group. Especially that it is a 1000.
I want to thank all that spent time looking and voted for the beautiful bikes on the BOTM thread.

I want to thank my beautiful wife for her patience of not being able to park her car in the garage for 3 months and asking me why I was changing a "perfect " bike into this thing.

Well honey here is this "thing".

I wanted change after 2 1/2 years of riding and the usual mods. I spent countless hours looking at pictures of SVs and came up with something a little different. I always liked the Monster exhaust and the naked look. Gold wheels/chain/fork/R1 calipers ...well ...a little bling never hurts. I like to work on a limited budget so I come up with better ideas than just paying for them which is why I did the S2r exhaust system. It took a lot of measuring and achieving clearances of the swing arm,ground and rear set. The wheels took almost 3 months due to unusual rainy weeks where I had to pull them out for a few minutes each day and spray. Then sand them and start the process all over again. Anyways it finally came together and I couldn't be happier. It sounds a little better than stock but not too loud like my old M4 2 into 1.

Again thank you to the SVrider community for this BOTM title.
