Converting the SV for touring...

Ok, so I am mid-conversion and figured I'd post some progress here... I added a gel seat back in 2003 and that was about it until my body decided to force the issue when my back decided to completely give out with no warning and I couldn't even walk... at that point, I figured out that I need to make my bike more comfortable.

I love my SV and I can't drop the $ on a new bike at the moment so...

As of this past week:

SVN triple clamp

SVN risers (I'll add risers above and beyond the stock ones from Twisted Throttle over the winter)

I also ordered the Buell lower foot pegs since my knees have never been particularly happy with the riding position of the K3 SV.
