> will that speedo/guage cluster work on the gen 1? I've still got the sport cluster on mine, yuck.
I can't say i know the Gen-1 however I do know that TrailTech makes kits for the Gen 1 and they are easy to add.
> did you need to coat the inside of your PVC brake reservoir with something? Once painted, does it look nicer than stock? I think mine is ugly.
I ditched that DIY reservoir after about 3 months, it was just a total eye sore (it was 100% functional though, i didn't coat it, PVC is tough shit.)
I'm now doing this, it's been good for a long while now:

The hose/tube is "Tygon 2075" - super chemical resistant.
This solution works really well too, my brakes are no different than before and i can always see the level in there.
> where did you get that chain, how much did it run you?
I'm assuming you're talking about the blue chain:

They're alright chains, be sure to maintain it though, mine went about 7k miles which isn't really a lot but then again, it's a $60 chain.
I've since moved to this:

> did you find an HID setup that worked? I'd love a good HID headlight, but haven't researched it yet.
I grabbed this kit
http://www.bkmoto.com/Motorcycle%20HID%20kits/Universal%20Motorcycle%20HID%20kits/Motorcycle%20HID%20kit
I think at the time he actually had a SV650 kit on the site but i went for the universal because I wasn't sure how it would fit in the LSL Urban headlight assembly/bucket.
As it turns out, it's a lot more simple than it appears, the most difficult part is that the HID bulb is HUGE and you won't be able to install it like a normal bulb- generally you have to remove the face of the headlight (glass/plastic part)- the LSL Urban took about 20 minutes of blasting with a heat gun and prying with a screw driver before it came apart, I installed the HID assembly and glued it all back together with some clear caulk.
Once the main assembly is installed you can put new HID bulbs in through the back the normal way, so it's easy from there on out- that said, i've never had to replace a HID bulb in my 4 years experience (in my car too) with them.
> have you found any good/cheap tank bags, hard or soft?
cyclegear.com, amazon.com, ebay.com, check the forums (svrider.com) too - the one that spent most of my time with was $25 at cycle gear- it was an "Iron Rider" ... simple clear plastic screen and a big zipper around the top, not water proof but it held a lunch/phone/wallet/tool roll pretty easily.
Now i just use a Ogio Mach 3 backpack because looking like a turtle is cool or something.
>how did you remove the dents from your gas tank? How did color matching go?
I wish. No that tank got thrown out as scrap- there was no saving it :) I just snagged a scratch / dent off of ebay that was the same year/color- it had one tiny nick in the top ... 100% functional otherwise. $300.
