I purchased a new C90 Boulevard. Its silver and black. I drove it today, wow nice bike. Im looking for a new exhaust, can anyone recommend one.

Hi!!!! Welcome to the forum!!!!! I would pm Ognetum,,he has a C90 with Hard Krome 3" straights. He did the Thundermonster install as well. They look good and they sound great with the Thundermonsters. It really depends on what you are trying to accomplish though with the new pipes.

Pinhy · 10-02-2005, 07:11 PM

welcome! nice bike!!

cant help with the pipes, dont know what fits the C90 (i doubt it is same as the C/M 50 ones).

get a nice set of 3" straights like Sean mentioned above....would go great with that bike IMHO

Welcome.
The Oct. issue of RoadBike has Part 1 in a series of upgrades to the C90.
part 1 covers fork springs and tires.
Enjoy your bike.

Welcome... I saw some of those 3" pipes this morning... really looked nice and sounded awesome. But they were in the bigger bikes like yours.

stp1971 · 10-03-2005, 09:31 AM

Oh yeah,, the only downside to the #' Hard Kromes is it does block the rear axle bolt from being removed. You will have to drop the exhaust to remove the rear tire.

Leprechaun · 10-05-2005, 11:29 AM

if you have a bike lift you can raise the bike, put a car jack under the rear tire, remove the shock bolts and drop the tire to take off the axle. It's easier than exhaust removal if you have the equipment or a friend does. Bike jacks are pretty cheap now, share with a pal. Just browsing, Lep

Welcome to the forum BraveC90. You'll find a lot of expertise here when it comes to your bike, especially stp1971. Looking forward to reading the results of your exhaust mods.

I have the HK Sideburner... very very very loud, but looks great. I've had mine for 3yrs/26k miles. It's a great ride, but if Suzi keeps coming up with M109's you may have about 15,000 former Honda VTX owners assoc. members here. We do a Ride In at Denver every 4th of July, here's me and the Beast doing the plank ride. Here's the site for anyone that likes to ride 300 to 400 miles of twisties each day for a 4 day weekend, all makes welcome.
