Could you take a pic of your complete bike?

I like the look of the saddle bags that I see, but would like to see the entire look.

They look like Suzuki bags, is that correct?

I also looks like the bag is almost touching the top pipe. Does this not cause ane burning issues?

Thanks,
Old New Biker

I was undecided on to debadge or not to debadge... So, I took all the badges off but the main tank one! She looks great, because it leaves the chrome touch to the side of the tank for me! Nice clean look with all the others removed though!

I rode the bike home (1 1/2 miles) after buying it and took all the emblems off except the tank ones. Now I'm wondering......

My 07 Limited has graphics on the tank, so no worries there. On the M50 logo on the side, I just grabbed the edge and peeled it right off. Nothing to it. Wiped it briefly with Goo Gone and that was that.

Stay away from the lighter fluid. Googone and sunshine work best. Most of the badges will come off easily with a strip of dental floss. I removed the Suzuki sticker and the M50 badges with just the floss and sunlight. The warning label was a PITA though.

OK so i got the googone. During this whole process my blow dryer was my best friend. The adhesive balled up very well when hot. Here are some before and after close-ups. You can also see my knew tornado in the after picture. Thanks for your help my m50 bretheren!
