So far the only additions I have managed to are the windshield, lightbar and bags. In the works are the backrest and engine guard. Among others.

Yep - got a Gremlin Bell... And A-1 doesn't really count as a black cat.. he's got a little splash of white on his chest (and no, it's not liquid paper)

Default WOW these pics are cool

Here you go. Pictures of UV LED's I have 6 of these placed under the tank. (Three on each side) On the right side I have 2 under the tank and one under the air cleaner. The chrome gives an illusion of about 20 LED's Its a real subtile look. Its not really bright or over powering. But at night it looks really cool.

They don't put off a lot of light, but if you were wearing neon shoe strings they would glow.

I got those on E-Bay. They are light kits for computers that work off of a 12v source. They already have the resistors installed. I bought two of these at $.99 a piece. I think I paid less then $5 and that included shipping. They took a while to install. I'm prety much an expert at wiring and soldering so it wasnt to hard for me. But it its a tedious job that took an hour or so.

I had to break the packages apart and solder extra length wires between the lights. I also used heat shrink over the resistors and the base of the LED's to keep moisture out. Then I used my volt meter and found a power connector under the seat. The one that runs back to the tail light and found out which wire came on with the key. So I removed the pin from the connector, peeled back the insulation a bit then soldered one end of the LED string to that. Then I put the pin back in the connecor (so it looks like it was factory installed). Then for the ground I found a bolt in the frame under the front of the tank on the left side and used butt connector with an eyelet big enough for the bolt to fit through, then soldered a wire on there and bolted it on. Then I used zip ties to hold them in place. Its all wired in series so if one goes out they all go out. But how often do LED's burn out anyway???

Mr.R
Thanks for the info. My oldest son is an Electronics Tech. But he is busy with a new baby. My youngest is a 4 wheel drag racer. He was rained out in LA, the makeup in LA was rained out, he was rained out in Vegas. He has had several rainouts up here. He also builds cars and boat motors.
When I try my hand at things I allways end up with extra parts.

I like those lites. My oldest also keeps my computer on the go. It is going to be tough. Sure like them

They are Tsukayu "Strong" bags. I had some big Auburn Leather softbags, but these nice big locking fiberglass bags are more useful, secure, and weatherproof. I have some Suzuki Pearl Blue paint and matching pinstripes, I need to take the bags off and paint the bottom half blue to match my bike and then stripe them for a nice matched look.

My C50 add ons include:
OEM Windshield
OEM Short Tubular backrest with large oval Mustang Pad
OEM Luggage Rack
OEM Passenger floorboards
MCE "Crash" Bar
Bikercom lightbar with 35w Grote Lights
Tsukayu Strong hardbags
Alaskaleather.com sheepskin seat pads
Cortech Mini Tankbag
