Womper, I see you've found the "Priest headed straight to hell" toon.

heh.. google is a wonderful thing... i'd seen it posted here before, but google makes it easy to find

Still pretty much stock. Last thing I changes was the addition of the riser Extensions. Oh and I did remove the 'Huffys" on the front. I replaced them with some nice spikes and added some rectangular reflectors to the radiator frame to replace them.

DOGBONE · 06-23-2008, 05:01 PM

So where did the spikes come from, I like those.

screw back spikes -

The silver ones have 6mm threads already. So I threaded on a 6mm nut onto a 6mm bolt, put a dab of Red threadlock on it and tighened it into the spike. I then cut the head off (it was a 3" bolt) with a hack saw and unscrewed the nut to chase the threads.

The black ones come with 1/4" threads so I ran a 6mm tap down them and did the same steps as above.

The bolts that go into the fender are shoulderd, so I made some from some steel tubing I had laying around.

Great job with the Fairing, what did you have to do to mount it?

womper · 06-27-2008, 01:46 AM

wow... i never would have thought a fairing would look good on the M50...
i stand corrected... very nice...

Trigger1985 · 06-27-2008, 08:55 PM

2008 Silver/Black M50, Spitfire windshield, Buffalo Hide Bags, the patchwork ones are all over ebay, i bought the jacket a while ago, and really like the way they look, its different, sissybar, black painted saddlebag guards, they don't stand out as much under the bags, and I added some chrome trim to the fenders. There will soon be highway bars and pegs, but they are backordered and I'm not willing to spend an extra 75 to get them sooner. Sorry all I have is a camera phone... just realized the rain cover was still on the bags.. too dark to take a new picture now... oh well

geeker · 06-27-2008, 09:06 PM

nice bike! especially like the SILVER (cause it makes the bike go oh so much faster!)

diamond_jim · 06-27-2008, 09:59 PM

With leather simply laying on the seat.

geeker · 06-27-2008, 10:02 PM

DJ, I'm lovin the colour scheme and especially the seat it gives it that vintage look ... but those decals either have to be bigger or darker cause it's taking away from the sweet looks you now have.

oh and what will you do when you run out of ideas for repainting the bike? (the wife better hide her stuff?)

diamond_jim · 06-27-2008, 10:04 PM

Yeah, I'm trying every possible thing with the decals and see what moves me and makes me say wow. If and when it does, then I'll get it painted that way. Otherwise they are gone. They're cheap $$$.

womper · 06-27-2008, 10:28 PM

bad photochop... sorry
i think i have too much time on my hands... heh...

I haven't tried the star but man I love it!!!

Don't like the decals down there but kudos for trying.

womper · 06-27-2008, 10:49 PM

heh... ya, the star looks good i find...

not fond of the shark teeth down there either... looks out of place
it's millitary, shouldn't be anything fancy... should be bare bones anyhow

Majestik · 06-27-2008, 10:55 PM

I wonder why i have yet to see this mod on a stock debaffled pipes...

I think it looks good

I plan of doing this as soon as i find a set of stock pipes to use (need to keep one set legal for my elderly neighbors)

womper · 06-27-2008, 10:58 PM

yup.. looks better than stock imho

mogunn34 · 06-28-2008, 07:04 AM
