I did not notice a leak on a long ride and blew my engine. Bike is in the shop and estimate now is $1300, find out more next week after complete tear down. I just thought I would throw it out to check the oil before a long ride, even for daily riders. My own lazy butt just cost me a little over a grand.

On G Mans website they list nearly all boulevards except the m50 for their shifter bushing. I would take it that the bushing for the c50 would fit the m? Any feedback, especially from anyone who has installed one would be appreciated. :bluethum:

I will be starting off on Friday going from Moses Lake up to Mt. Rainier then shacking up in Everett. Then on Saturday morning, headed up to Mulkiteo to Anacortes. At Anacortes, I will be sampling all the microbeers at the bars. That evening I will be staying the night in Mt. Vernon. On Sunday morning, going for a ride up to the Mt. Baker ski resort. Afterwards, will be headed back to the rally and checking out the vendors and bikes. Finally on Monday morning, headed back Moses Lake. That will be a long and exhausting ride.

If any members would like to join up. Just contact me either through this thread or PM. ]]> North America 1 - Northwest DesertCoug http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/forum/north-america-1-northwest/45453-2010-oyster-run.html New pipes installed... http://www.motorcycle-journal.com/forum/marauder-m50-secret-hideaway/45452-new-pipes-installed.html Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:20:22 GMT Purchased RoadBurner 2.5 StreetPros from roadoverstock on eBay, $324.99 shipped.

1. They are throw-over bags
2. I have a sissybar/backrest installed already (which was a pain in the @$$)

I found these brackets on ebay (link below) but I am not sure how they would hold up to highway speeds since they only mount to one bolt. I am looking at them because I do not want to go through the difficulty of taking the backrest off to install a standard support bracket. These look like it would allow me to loosen a bolt and slip it behind.

Since these are my first set of saddlebags, I humbly grovel at the feet of more experienced riders for their opinions. :bows:

Sell this fall? Or wait till Spring? Just put new tires on it and have a daytripper seat. Other than that completely stock.

My poor bike was the victim of a garage mishap :( And it is looking like the body work on the giant tank dent is going to cost more than a new tank.

I have been on ebay, and found one (it is even local) but they weren't sure it was listed correctly. If it does not pan out, are there ANY other tanks to look for that would fit my bike? I'm still getting quotes on the work, so I may be able to repair the old one. But I'm trying to find the cheapest option here (of course).

I just bought this bike. 2005 m50 won at a raffle about 5 years ago at a UGC fight(smaller version of UFC). The guy had it sitting in his garage collecting dust. Only 220 miles! Not a scratch on it. Needless to say I'm ecstatic over my new bike. I'd rather not say how much I spent but I feel like I got a good deal even though I'm not a cage fighter. Hahaha
