All in all, her first "real" full day of traveling in my ownership, and I couldnt be happier with how she ran! Granted, I didnt get a ton of attention riding next to a $22,000 harley, but I didnt mind all that much! This week - Ordering my V+H Cruizers and PC3. Perhaps even the integrated light kit and side mount liscense, if money allows! All in all, Im one HAPPY new M50 owner!

Sounds like a killer day! I went on a 400mile southern appalachian ride with four other M-J M50 riders. Had a great ride. First ride with the grasshopper backrest, loved it!

Put on a set of Stingerz LED accent lights(teal). Ran a 30 LED strip on each side of the tank. Turned the front parts where they face the heads, and twisted them to point down towards the back. I've got a 9 LED strip behind the hypercharger facing the engine, and one behind the pair valve lighting the left side of the engine. I put a 24 LED strip between the fender and the chrome fender support pointing down on each side, and a 12 LED strip on the frame behind the seat.

I also added a Black Magic wireless controller, which has a 4 stage dimmer(100%, 75, 50, & 25), a "breathe" setting which fades the LED's to give a breathing effect, and 4 different flash modes.

I love the way it turned out, I may add some more to light the front wheel and one to hit the chrome pipes.

When I get some decent pics I'll put them up.

The sun finally came out this morning after a week of solid rain... went out to wash and wax and of course.. it clouded over and started to rain again... grrrr....

womper · 08-06-2008, 11:09 AM

i went down to the garage to see if it would start (had problems with the electrical on my trip) and it started... time to take a little shower and hit the road for a little bit before work

GeorgiaRoller · 08-06-2008, 02:15 PM

I "thought" about cleaning it, does that count?

Trilithon · 08-06-2008, 03:48 PM

Put it up on the bike jack while deciding what to do with the nail in the rear tire.

DaveAlvarado · 08-06-2008, 06:07 PM

Got my Cobra passenger floorboards in today--my new hardbags are really long and make it tough for a passenger to get her feet on the pegs. Now I'm sorely tempted to order matching driver floorboards to replace my Highway Hawk ones.

Man, I thought I was done accessorizing, but I guess I was wrong. I still don't have a final windshield solution yet, but damn is she a fine looking bagger now.

my67rt · 08-06-2008, 06:38 PM

I pulled the cover off rode it to work. I also adjusted my rear brake lever nut. It made a huge difference, thanks to all who posted omments on info for new riders. Hopefully this weekend I will get a chance to pull out my mickey plate and third plate, I cant wait to do that and hear the difference from de-baffled pipes.

Alex022406 · 08-06-2008, 07:26 PM

I put a Red Led Kit on the bike from Street Glow. Awesome Product, but i think i want more Leds !

1badbaker · 08-06-2008, 09:17 PM

Lemme see....rode to and from work, got a Metzeler ME880 put on up front, new brake pads up front, lumpectomy and got about 80% through reshaping and putting memory foam on the seats, then realized I forgot to get cotton batting while I was at Wal-Mart, so I guess I'll finish up tomorrow since it's dark out now...

MotoJPizzle · 08-06-2008, 09:30 PM

After work - I installed the Street Shield EX that i purchased from AEagles - looks great, just a few minor adjustments to reduce the buffeting but other than that, it looks like I am good for today. BTW - I saw another M50 Limited at the subway on Lindsey and Jenkins - I should have stopped.

dreygun · 08-06-2008, 10:07 PM

still undecided between the Hard-Krome 2 in 1 exhaust and the V&H Cruzers. in the mean while i learned how to debaffle the stock (nice looking) pipes and did that. now still need the TFI or power commander till i save up for one of the two exhausts mentioned above.

womper · 08-06-2008, 10:44 PM

thought about cleaning it. got about 10,000km of dirt and bugs on it. i didn't.
went to visit my mom's and then rode around a bit.

Trigger1985 · 08-07-2008, 12:46 AM

Nearly finished up the passenger seat alterations... its not pretty but she says its more comfortable than stock... lost my staples, thats the only thing keeping me from being done.

highplains · 08-07-2008, 10:35 AM

I was very glad to have driven it yesterday for about 90 miles, and today will be another 44 mile commute.
I've been very happy with my M50, and summer is slipping away..

CentIllRider · 08-07-2008, 12:24 PM

Still finishing up my valve adjustment. It is unbelieveable how much stuff needs to come off the bike to do this and how hard it is to find a deep offset 8mm wrench for that bolt up under the radiator hose.

MotoJPizzle · 08-07-2008, 04:08 PM

Readjusted my shield for the 3rd time - finally think I got it right, but - I just gotta test it out again.
