| Hi everyone. An existing member recommended you guys a few days ago. Recently started posting on another forum, but felt this site was more specific to my bike. Did a little browsing, and am impressed with all the info and threads specific to metric cruizers. Bought a blue '06 M50 in October and am lovin' it. No mods as of yet. Been considering either debaffling or exhaust system, but will address these in their proper place. I will say this, some fantastic mods done in the M50 section. You really opened up a can of worms in MY head Cheers all! Lookin' forward to get to know you all better...Atlas

| Hi Louis. Look west my friend... Out here on the coast in B.C, Vancouver. Pissn' down rain as we speak. I don't mind riding in the rain so much , but this is bit crazy. Thought I saw Noah 'bout half hour ago rustling up the last of the herd...my bike stays indoors today!

| I hear ya... We've only got a dusting of snow this year which lasted a couple of days. I'm looking at it from the other end, I'm waiting for it to arrive! Our household loves to snowboard an it ain't happening. Even Whistler is just starting to pick up. On the other hand, have gotten out on the bike a couple of times this past week for a few hours each. Am lovin' that!

Welcome. As for the mods to your M50 ... I would think long and hard before drilling out the stock exhausts. Screwing with the stock pipes while your bike is still under warranty isn't recommended. If you need to take the bike in for a warranty repair, the dealer can refuse to honor your warranty. If you want a better sound and more performance, go with an after-market slip-on, and keep the stock pipes on a shelf until your warranty has expired. It could save you lots of headaches later.

| Atlas68 Holeshot was not where I bought my bike. I bought it in Abbotsford at Gateway Motorsports. I had been to most dealers including Orcabay, but as it was prime season most were not willing to budge on MFS price plus prep and frgt. Also only Orcaybay had the stock. I got an SE for $9,500 plus tax only, plus I got $5,000 off for my Wing which reduced the taxes also. I was happy as I paid $5,000 for the Wing 11 years before. I switched to Holeshot for servicing as the crew led by Mike are the best I have found on the lower mainland. |
