Suzuki Boulevard C90 C90T All Chrome Motorcycle with Cobra "Longs" 2007

GOD DAMN IT! it's HANDSOME!

[TheCountAlucard]

@TheArsushka Thanks! Sometimes I think that it's a bit too "out there" but it does turn heads. When I travel I put the black fenders, bags and trunk on it. I really like it because it is so much less money than a Harley!

You have to forge a good relationship with a chromer who will do small jobs in between his usual big productions. I used an aeronautical spray-on paint remover that is methyl chloride based then took the pieces to the chromer. The methyl chloride paint remover is extremely effective and leaves a nice bare metal finish which is easily chromed. Then the usual electroplates of copper first, then nickel, then a flash chrome is done. The pieces that are chromed are not originals, they are Ebay buys.

Sorry about the ignorance, but how do you chrome the fenders and half tanks?

[TheCountAlucard]

In 2010, I put on 14,000 miles - Virginia Beach to San Francisco to Vancouver to Yellowstone. Chrome is the easiest finish to maintain: Windex and paper towels.

you put more miles on your wax buffer then you do on the road with all that bling-n thing.

[jkgoude]

wow. thats the style i have been looking for. gotta do something like this on mine. thank you for show your beutiful bike. nice one mate

[dbltyme31]

Gorgeous!

[jmcdaniel7484]

Awesome job but that has got to be straight hell to keep ALL that chrome shining.

[MrWaschmaschine]

you could use it as mirror in your bathroom. Mine hasnt so much chrome on it. But it looks very great.

[tstaylor127]

new HD hard bags??? i would love to do that to my 09 Boule... I am a big fan of this bike... I am thinking about painting mine solid white, maybe a little pearl... but let me know what kind of hard bags PLEASE!!!

[TheCountAlucard]

They are Harley Davidson Police bags. Need photo's? Send e-mail address.

awesome but too muuch chrome for me

[TheCountAlucard]

@spforsupergringo1980

There is NO such thing as too much chrome!

Thanks. I just put it back to its all black mode as I have a trip to the west coast coming up. I have installed HD hard bags - a very slick fabrication, too. They just have so much room and can be locked. It takes about 2 hours to put into its balck mode and about 1 hour to all chrome.

GOT DAMMM

[TheCountAlucard]

Whatever.

[XXDragonSlayer03]

Screamineagle88 Before he can get a chrome frame he better chrome the lower forks and wheels brake calipers upper nad lower tree, master cylinders, switch housings. ETC... Yes my 1500LC is done that way with custom paint. No chrome on the tins for me. That's a bit much IMO.

[perfectperfecto]

How big is the engine???

[TheCountAlucard]

It is a 1500 cc engine - 90 cubic inches. Lots of low end torque with fuel injection.

[perfectperfecto]

Beautiful bike you have there Sir

Assuming Count defines your gender

That must engine sound like a monster with those pipes!

[TheCountAlucard]

I considered doing the frame, but it's too much work for me. Maybe the swing-arm when I replace the rear tire. Back in 1980 when I got my 1980 Corvette, I went chrome-crazy and chromed everything from every steel engine piece, half-shafts, struts and drive shaft. But almost 30 years later, I don't have the urge to go all-out. But thanks for the comment! It does get a lot of looks.

[screamineagle88]

Looks great! But now you have to get the frame chromed or someone will beat you to it.

[pantercobra]

Looks just like mine, but in black nice man.

[TheCountAlucard]

Since this video, I have added a chrome tail light cover and Kuryakin chrome grips.

The nice thing is that no one else has a bike like it!

[iamtwisted1]

Your bike looks fantastic, love what you have done.  :-)
