Last Mod Completed...!!!!!!!! - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Toolboy · 09-08-2006, 09:28 PM

Gday all,

I just wanted to show you the last and final mod i have fitted to my bike this week.

But firstly its been a sad week for Australia with the deaths of Steve Irwin and Holden racing legend Peter Brock who died yesterday, I met Brocky many times and cheered him on when racing the A9X Torana and Commodores throughout the 70's and 80's at Bathurst. Not sure if you people in the top end of the world had heard of him????

The last mod was a Front Spoiler which i saw on Mavman posts and yes i wanted one, i purchased the spoiler of Ebay and thanks "Mav" for the info you sent. I had a welder mate modify the mounting bracket so that there is no welding to the frame, its bolts onto the threaded holes where the foot pegs mounts are.

So far i have not scraped the spoiler on anything and the front tyre does not rub against it even under heavy braking. I like the long look it gives the M50.

Ok so here is my finished M50 project with the following mods fitted:

Jardine Slashcut exhaust
Thunder MFG Air cleaner
Techlusion EFI unit
OEM Saddlebages and brackets
Chrome Suzuki Radiator Shroud
Kuryakyn ISO Grips
Kuryakyn Mirrors with built in Led Indicators
Rear Fender removal and LED indicators fitted below Tail Light
Ice Blue Headlight globe
Front Spoiler

Total cost around $3,500 plus $12,000 for the bike ($11,300 US)

Maybe, just maybe a front screen if i ever decide to go cruising but it is 1500km (1000mile) to the nearest City so for now i will use the bike for getting to work and ripping up the streets of Alice Springs

There are a few good rides only 100km out of town.

Thanks goes to all on this forum for the great ideas, the M50 rocks

and will be with me for a long time.

geoffsimpson · 09-09-2006, 12:25 AM

Last mod....suuuuuuure

profane · 09-09-2006, 01:13 AM

Yeah, I hated to hear about Steve Irwin. People like him are rare.

I always though that if it were to happen like that to him, that it would be something more ironic.

We are animal people and respected him alot.

brad_b94 · 09-09-2006, 01:45 AM

Riiiiiight. Last mod. Never say your done with the bike. As soon as you say the bike is the way you want it. You crash it. Nice bike and good luck.

Wouldn't you think an insulated stubbie holder would suit you better TB?
(for the yanks - stubbie is a 10oz beer bottle)

Toolboy · 09-09-2006, 08:27 PM

Hey Mark,

Yeah I was going to say a stubbie holder but I didnt think our northern friends would understand,,

Mavman · 09-09-2006, 10:25 PM

Excellant TB!!

Looks real good. Glad the spoiler mod turned out well for ya.

SNAFU · 09-09-2006, 11:02 PM

Looks Awesome Toolboy!

kbsnow · 09-09-2006, 11:37 PM

Great looking bike. If thats your last mod I will do a bunch more in your place. Just send me the cash and it will be done.

RelicRider · 09-10-2006, 12:11 AM

Yes that is one sweet lookin bike. It looks done to me. Now all ya need is the the For Sale sign. Project done. Time to move on. "Stubbie" is beer. Beer is international, no translation required.

Lid · 09-10-2006, 06:14 PM

Still haven't replaced the seat????

That's what I'm going to do next. And ummm, what's the point of the spoiler?
That's a damn nice bike though. 11K bucks sounds kind of...expensive for an m50.

VTM50 · 09-11-2006, 10:43 AM

How about a picture from the back...

It was actually made for the aircooled marauder. It forces/brings more air into the radiator to help keep it cool.

My seat of pants review also says it helps our liquid cooled M50's AND it looks damn cool--IMO
