What did you do to your M50 today? - Page 27 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

dreygun · 09-26-2008, 06:11 PM

nice black out! looks great. stopped by royal distributing since they have a no tax sale going on. picked up 1 black and 1 chrome k&n oil filter. still have around 2500 still to go before next one but i thought i might as well save the tax. might order the forward controls this weekend. wanted to trade in at harley for a rocker but don't think it's happening this year.

this weekend i'm going to try out some skull/ grenade mix decals on the side of tank. have a few designs on the comp. also would thinking about a brass knuckle/ grenade mix for a tank decal.

sarjent · 09-26-2008, 08:25 PM

been a while on my update. I added chrome abs toolbox & side panel covers, backrest, bags, windshield, tail lights (integrated otw!).

oh yeah, pics..

Talarspeed · 09-26-2008, 09:50 PM

Hey Sarjent!

I see the cornhole boards hanging in the background. I build and sell those as a hobby. Love the game. And we have the same bike including colors.

Looks good!

dreygun · 09-26-2008, 09:55 PM

Just ordered JK's forward kit woohoo!

1badbaker · 09-26-2008, 11:52 PM

Put 515mi on the M across 5 states...thinking it's about time to order Forward Controls!

GeorgiaRoller · 09-29-2008, 08:41 AM

Rode 498 miiles in 3 states with new J/K forward controls.

nice.....how's the forwards? I think my seat pushed me up more than expected, I really am looking at those hard for going on next.

cyclechris · 09-30-2008, 07:32 AM

You'll like the forwards if you get them, they really make the bike bike comfortable. I already liked the M a lot, it was a lot more comfortable for me, but with the forward controls it is sweet!

I like them. It's alittle weird at first, but after 500 miles I'm used to them. Gear shift side is kind of cramped on my bike becuase of the Hwy bars. I'm not sure if I'm going to leave them on or not. But your legs are in a more stretched out comfortable position.

Went down to the dealership and retrieved mine. Just had its regular service and valve adjustment done. Also had them up the rear suspension from the factory #3 setting to #5 and it seems much better on the bumps now. Weather was terrible - 47 degrees, windy and intermittent rain all the way home (35 miles) - will be giving it a bath on Saturday! Ride safe - Bob

dr death · 10-01-2008, 07:22 PM

just got my baby back with metzeler me 880 marathon xxl 200 rear and metzeler me 880 marathon front.

vagabond35 · 10-01-2008, 07:24 PM

Did you ever measure the width of the stock 170 tire & then measure the width of the 200 tire? I'd like to know what the difference is.

Can you be more specific on how it better handles the bumps? I'll be ready to bring the bike int the dealer for the second Service (at 4,900 - 5,000 miles) and if it's worth it, I'll ask them to up the spring on mine too.
