Its that time again! Post your latest M50 pics! - Page 6 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

This is how the bike looks currently. I have added the saddleman profiler as my most recent mod. I've also put on Cobra Streetrods, radiator cover, tear drop mirrors, aftermarket pair cover, removed the rearend assembly and rear turn signals and did a side mount with LED frame cover. Removed almost all of the safety stickers, and put a Suzuki oil cap on it. I still want to do the intake and the fuel controller. The picture below was before I added the profiler. I liked the solo seat look better but went for the comfort of the Saddleman.

Hey Townie, thats a good looking limited, I appreciate someone who takes pride in their bike and keeps looking clean like yours is.

Cool site. I just checked it out. Thanks for the info.

Here's my latest pic:

Great site for information...and hopefully this PCIII that I ordered will fix my backfiring issues - Hypercharger + Roadburner Double Eagles + Cobra Fi2000r = backfiring. Cobra settings are doing nothing for me.

Looks good Beck

geoffsimpson · 05-29-2008, 07:36 PM

LouM50 · 05-29-2008, 08:04 PM

Ok-now I know this bag is really big, and looks way outta place and pretty funky looking but I only have it on there when I need it, about once a week-at $4 a gallon Ill take the goofy bag over the truck if I can

Ok, I have all my armor on, go ahead and put the comments my way on the big bag

i hate studs, but i like the retro 70's "i'm going to cross the country so i'm cooler than you" look

here's my latest pic... (the linbar was removed prior to the pic due to a crash)

i like my little retro-rocket

next on the list of mods to do... really bright spotlights for night riding...

WoW Beck, that looks absolutely savage. Nice Job.

Jay313 · 05-29-2008, 10:57 PM

Coolest black pipes I've ever seen, Beck. Trade you for my painted stock ones?

DJ: No back fender anymore? And what's the coat of arms on your airbox?

dispatchbob · 05-30-2008, 07:59 AM

Just some quick photos of my new ride. Got lucky and have the only M50 personalized plate in Michigan. Put about 160 miles on it yesterday and it just keeps getting better - very smooth bike compared to my 05 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 classic - both in handling and running.

cvillechopper re. custom seat....
After riding 1 and 1/2 hours in traffic yesterday and getting major butt cramp I am seriously admiring your replacement seat and noticing a lot of you replacing this uncomfortable seat... now for the clincher and I know it's not polite but cvillechopper how much did that seat run you and did you install that yourself?
I have to be honest I am in love with that seat!

Thanks.... me too. Including the backrest and one bottle of Corbin Leather care it was about $840 shipped. Not cheap but the wife's rear is well worth that. Mine is worth a small fraction of that but gets the benefit anyway.

For me the clincher is the Charcoal Carbon-fiber leather welts. You can select different colors for each surface at no additional charge but I wanted just a little accent to match the bike. They've got some brighter silver that would probably look really nice too, but it was just a bit too much for my taste.

Here's hoping you find a way to put the miles on without having cramps like a 4'8" prisoner.

Just left in Feb. My wife is still in K-town.

diamond_jim · 05-30-2008, 11:36 AM

Cool. You ever spend time down at Belton Lake or Smithhouse Lake? Or 6th street in Austin?

geeker · 05-30-2008, 12:00 PM

thanks for the feedback cvillechopper

I think I will see if I can sneak that one by my gf ... her comfort is more important factor might allow me to squeak the cost by her.

If price becomes an issue, check out the Mustang wide tourer. Not as nice looking and 2 pieces instead of 1, but about half the price as well, and it's got a great big squishy pillion seat that she'll love. Driver's seat is very nice as well. Check out my review.
