Phy posted:Totally out of left field: How does an SV hold up for light-duty touring? (read: weekend to a week or so) I've done a couple 300 mile days and I feel like my SVS did great. However, that was all secondary roads with no highway miles (I don't know if it's me or what, but I find riding the SV at highway speeds to be unsettling and at times outright scary). Anyway, I just finished a proper luggage setup and I plan to do some extensive touring later this summer. I suggest investing in a better seat or modifying your OEM saddle.

Simkin posted:Super comfortable bike to ride on the road, great ergos, bolt upright riding position, and with an aftermarket wind screen, you can happily ride around with your visor up and hold a conversation with your passenger. Aren't they also a good deal slower than an SV, due to being heavier and having milder cams (or some other power difference)?

Phy posted:So I'm guessing that because of the underslung pipe and stressed-member engine you can't really lift a SV/DL with an ATV lift? I don't know if it's a good idea, but before I had stands, I lifted my SV with a floor jack under the engine (using a block of wood between the two). That was several thousand miles ago, no problems in the interim.

I have the stainless steel "full size" (bigger than the stubby, but still way smaller in all dimensions than the huuuuuuuuge stocker) Delkevic muffler on my 2nd gen and I'm really happy with it for the money. It's not as nicely constructed as a Yosh or whatever, but it's solid and sounds nice, both with and without the silencer. I've put about a thousand miles on mine and it's seen lots of rain and wet and there are no signs of rust or corrosion. I don't see why it wouldn't last for years. For the money, you can't really go wrong with it, in my opinion.
