My divorce present to myself a 2007 SV650 Nekkid with:

Dale Walker Holeshot exhaust
Woodcraft rearset
OEM Frame Sliders

My next addition will be heated grips. My hands are getting pretty cold lately.

Are they bike specific?

On the package it says SV650 03-05/GSXR600 97-00/GSXR750 96-99, but on the website there are more.

So when I try to explain to non-bikers why I find riding a motorcycle so fun I try and explain power to weight ratio.

400 lbs wet + 160 lbs me = 560 lbs ***** 560 lbs / 70 Hp = 8.00 lbs per Hp

Porsche 911 GT3 (996) mk1 - 8.00
2006 Lotus Exige GT3 - 8.00
C6 Corvette - 7.95

Any other cars to compare the acceleration of my girl bike to?

edit: took out the word common

don't even know how I'd get it to a mechanic.) Any good resources out there?

Put out an ad on Craigslist saying you need a bike towed. There are plenty of people with ramps/trailers/tie downs that would love to make a quick 40 bucks towing your poo poo.

Do you like tuning carbs? Carbs suck.

Yeah you keep the stock cables. Really all you need to do is shave down a portion of the tabs on the new throttle.

This is the picture of what you need to cut. I did it with a dremel pretty easily, although slowly to make sure I didn't take too much. I need to cut down ever so slightly more, like maybe another 1/16th of an inch to get the idle lowered to normal, but it's an incredibly minor difference, so I haven't bothered yet. But yeah, that's all you need to do.

Just bought the tube!
