Thanks for all the great info. It made my purchase on Thursday very easy. Traded in my S40 for the M50. I absolutely love the new bike! Here is a pic. It gets a lot better gas mileage than the Bronco in the background!

Welcome aboard! Seems like you must be in a 'rider-friendly' state, considering there's green grass and no snowbanks! Ride that thing!!

I like that color, makes me want to break out the paint gun.

MrvanH · 03-26-2006, 05:26 PM

Do you guys know the part numbers fro those swicthblade pegs. It seems I have the mod bug. I have a Memphis shades windshield on the way....

MrvanH from the West Coast.
Enjoy your M. It's a great bike. Ride safely and enjoy the forum.

MrvanH · 03-26-2006, 05:50 PM

Stupid question but... How do I update my user profile? I am actually in Ohio and i took the pics right before it started snowing! Last time I checked. It was spring...

vhmike73 · 03-26-2006, 06:04 PM

Click the "User CP" link and on the left you'll see the "Edit Profile" option...

As for the Switchblade pegs/peg adapters (you'll need them too), here are the part numbers:

7939: Peg Adapters
4446: Switchblade Pegs

Contact XtremeDave (via PM, or in the Swap Meet section) for prices on the parts- his prices are near impossible to beat!

Grass is nice and green over there in OH! Pretty much all brown here in NY still...but it IS Spring finally! Calling for 50s all week, so hopefully I'll be getting in some riding!
