What did you do to your M50 today? - Page 31 - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

YoungBloodM50 · 10-18-2008, 01:53 AM

This is what I did!

smithksor · 10-18-2008, 02:02 AM

I installed my Corbin seat and the last chrome body piece. Then I took a two hour ride through the beautiful willamette valley farm land.

offsetcrank · 10-18-2008, 09:04 AM

i put some custom splattered bugs on my M50.

she seemed to like it.

so i put some more splattered bugs on her.

she seems to like being ridden hard with 93 octane in her belly.

and it was good.

(my nephew, on his honda got the good pump...the one that wasn't working correctly.....he filled his tank for $1.51us.)

no, i will not tell you where, nor which pump.

peace.

Rode her some more with the new seat, did I mention the new seat. I love that seat. Brought her home, shined her up and took a picture.

Added Cool Weather Deflectors yesterday in preparation of the cold temps that are sure to be here soon. There was a deep scratch on one of them so they'll be replaced free of charge. Pictures to come once the good ones are on there.

intsalled the jk forward kit. great instructions and such a simple install. no problems with anything. the cotter pins. if you have trouble taking out just use pliers and snip the top loop. the legs fall right out. don't need the old one anyhow, john included the two new ones. wow comfy ride now!

cardude720 · 10-19-2008, 08:16 PM

Your supposed to drill holes then wash it not the other way around!

How do you like the sound now?

kingy · 10-19-2008, 10:55 PM

Save up and get them. You won't regret it! Drilled holes is ALWAYS a prelude to eventually getting real pipes, but it's better than nothing. Ride Safe!

YoungBloodM50 · 10-19-2008, 11:52 PM

I put on my 28" drag bar and a custom dent in the gas tank. Check out my thread about it. Pics to come soon.

The Pope · 10-20-2008, 05:51 AM

I road the M to work, like I've been doing 99.9% of the time over the last 3 months. Only this morning it was 35F outside!

JmalB · 10-20-2008, 08:00 AM

Well lets see... Saturday I used the muffler to put a long scratch in the door of my car while backing out of the garage.

Then I rode to a car show.

How many car's did you damage at the show with your bike?

.........Don't those stupid little mistakes just tick you off!

JmalB · 10-20-2008, 08:45 AM

Fortunately I didn't have the $2 to pay for parking so other vehicles were spared. What really ticks me off is I had just recently switched the way vehicles were parked in my driveway so there should have been more room for the bike... theoretically.

Ahhhh, that's where you went wrong. Changing things around confused your bike.

Murphy's law man!

I "was" going to ride my bike to work today, but it was 39 degree's this morning. I like to ride...............but not that much. So I took the company car instead.......much warmer, free gas!

Hey GR...which bag did you get? I was looking at these two because they also function as a driver's backrest. Thanks.
