I have been working on my m50 here and there. Here are some photos.

The beginning. Lowering it 3 inches was my first mod - I recommend this mod, The best thing I ever did!


It is new fender time. Yes, the c50 fender.



New fender and drop 3 inches looks good!


Added the side mount license plate with brake light. Still need to shave the fender.


I am getting ready to add silver bullets and also the Run-Turn-Brake Controller and Diode Kit.

I will put up some more pics soon!

Actually the strobe was the most expensive, $50+, but the 1157 sockets were under $3 for both.

Has anyone swapped fenders from the C90 to the C109?
I love the swept look of the C90 fenders, especially the front and wouldn't mind swapping those out when I'm ready to look at painting.
As much as I like the lower rear fender, can't see myself wanting to hide that beautiful fat assed tire......

C109 rear tire is too big for the 90 fender. Sure looks sweet on the M50 though.

I did not get it HERE but this site is less than what I paid. I also bought the chrome bezel.

Just to let you know my procedure:
  1. Remove tail turn signal housing.
  2. Remove rear reflector, held by a nut from the inside of housing.
  3. Cut a 1/8"x1.5" alum bar down to fit snug into the reflector recess.
  4. Drill holes diagonally 3/4" around the center of the alum. bar for SS 8-32X1/2" phillips head machine screw.
  5. Countersink holes in alum bar and tap 8-32 holes in the housing.
  6. Install screws.
  7. Drill 1/2" hole, from the back side of housing, through the alum. bar & deburr or install a grommet.
  8. Mark holes for bezel mount on alum bar.
  9. Drill and tap marked holes for SS 8-32X3/4" SHCS. If the screws are a bit too long then grind them flush on the back side of alum. bar.
8-32X1/2" machine screw

8-32X3/4" SHCS


Hope this helps. It will be interesting to see if I get pulled over for this light. It has several program modes for strobe and one for solid.

I ordered my yesterday too. With the chrome bezel. I hadn't looked inside the reflector housing yet tho.
The dump trucks that we run where I work have the led brake/turn lights.
They are set on the 2 or 3 flash and then steady mode.

LED's are tough! We also use them on snowplow wings and the only problem we have had is having them vibrate so bad it breaks the mounts that we made for them. They almost never burn out. We haven't had one burn out yet.

I think you probably have the same signal housing and reflector as the 90. It is about 1 7/16" wide X 3.5 long. Works slick if you put the alum. bar in. Otherwise mounting would be limited to glue and the bezel will not fit.

I think I have some. If not, I know where I can find some. And screws!

Wait. Is that a c50 limited? It has the rims of a 08 and the seat of a 08.
Did you have it repainted. I love the way it looks as a white bike
