Thanks for the comments...

Upstate, yes, I am running the intergrated taillight LED kit. I got the site right from this forum... run a search and you'll find it. I picked one Saturday to do all this work (sidemount, 2" drop, forward controls, taillight) and believe it or not... that taillight was the longest and hardest thing to do. You need patience to do it... you have to dremmel your original taillight cover. It took me about an hour to carefully get it done. Feels great and looks awesome when you get it done though.

Mxedit, the sidmount plate holder I got from either Thunder Manufacturing or Phatmotorcycleperformance or something. Again, I got the site right from this forum... a search should pull it up. (I love this forum. My bike was stock until just this past March when I found this forum). The forward controls I got from ebay... the are Mapam. I originally tried to get them from JpCycles but they had their model numbers all mixed up and sent me the wrong ones... then they had the nerve to tell me that Mapam wasn't making them anymore. I did a search on ebay and they came right up. The guy I bought them from is "Cao Distributing". Awesome to work with... had the controls to me within a week, no joke. As far as clearance... believe it or not, they give me more clearance then the stock setup. I've attached pics... there are 2 bolts on the bottom of the assembly... the 2 biggest bolts on the bottom. Inbetween both of these bolts is where the stock peg would be. If you notice on my controls, not only does it move forward quite a bit, but they are above the original placing for the stock peg. And, since you're feet are on the peg at a slight angle now, rather then on top of the stock peg, you will scrape the bottom of your heel before the peg... trust me, you have plenty of "happy" space before you scrape

It's kinda late out here, I just got back home from watching the game. I'll go through my emails and receipts see if I can find the correct site for that intergrated taillight set up and the side mount plate holder for you guys. I just need to get to bed. Thanks again for the comments... I'm the only M50 I know out of all my freinds. It's good to have some feedback from people who own the same bike. Later.

... that's the sidemount plate holder... click that link in there. It's in the first post after the second or third pic. Then click, Suzuki > M50 > License Plate > and it's the Universal Holder... $37. You have to dremmel out the hole a little bit to fit that bolt. ....okok, bed time.

Double Edit: So I couldn't fall asleep, what?
