Hello,
I recently purchased a 2007 M50 limited edition for my second bike. I had a 87 Honda VFR about 15 years ago. The bike and I met the asphalt at 55 and both of us broke apart. I have recieved my MSF and MI endorsment. I have logged about 400 miles on the M50. I like it alot, it handles good and has the right amount of power when needed. I paid about 7000 out the door. I have looked around this site and have seen other M50s with saddle bags, Anyone know where to get some good saddle bags with out spending a bunch of money?

I plan on getting saddle bags, wind screen, intake and fuel mapper or possibly leave it stock. My wife wants me to get a "sissy bar" seat rest.

I have no idea how to work on bikes or where to go for aftermarket parts. Any thoughts?

Take it easy, Eric

Most important thing is the sissy bar!

Bags, yes.....windshield, yes......otherwise, given your honest admission, I think you should leave it stock.

Oh what a great trip!!!

I ride a 2006 Suzuki C50T Boulevard.

A Classic Cruiser with Bold Style and No Equal.

to M-J Eric! Nice choice.

Congrats on the new bike, but it sound like you should have gotten the C50T. As for some of the stuff you are looking for, I have a friend that may have some of what you need.

Funderbird · 06-17-2008, 01:11 AM

What is the c50T? The one I got was due to the deal they had. I didn't see any other boulevards at the dealership besides the bigger bikes. My primary goal is for saddle bags and a lock.
