Since it bolts to the bracket that holds the handlebar and the shape looks different than what we have, I would say no. Is that pic just an example? If no then it seems very very specific as to the model it fits.

d_m ... link doesnt work. Can you C&P some of the text?

basically it should fit...and cobra has it on their website for the m50 too.

but...it needs some sort of adapter because the c50s and (probably)m50s have a different type of ignition as the vols.
it will only read half of what the rpms should be.

if that doesn't work...basically what u need is a single fire adapter.

Just remember that the ignition system on the C50 is different that that of the Volusia. On the Volusia the tach only requires to be hooked up to one coil. On the C50 the tach needs to be hooked up to both coils.

C50T2006, bmann is correct. I have a 2004 Volusia, so all I had to do was connect the tach to one of the coils. The reason I picked the left coil is because the wire I needed to the coil was easier to get to on the left coil. Then again I should have borrowed the same hands I used for the PAIR valve blockoff plate, and the removal of the OEM horn-you know small hands, comes with wife.
