Suzuki Boulevard M50 - Vance & Hines Cruzers - Power Commander - K & N Air Filter

This video shows the results of fuel system modifications made to my M50 back in December 2009. All parts were purchased from Fuel Moto (http://www.fuelmotousa.com/) in one of their "Power Packages." My first step was installing the Vance & Hines Cruzer pipes. Myself and a friend were able to install these in about an hour. A few weeks later I had the Power Commander/K & N Air Filter installed by Judd @ Judd's Custom Creations in Hinesville, GA. Finally, I was able to get it dyno tuned a couple of weeks later (done by Kevin Hunt @ KWS Motorsports in North Charleston, SC). The best dyno run returned 49.7 SAE HP & 48 SAE Torque (ft-lbs). Which is an increase of 5.61 HP and 5.17 ft-lbs of torque from the stock configuration.

Was it difficult to install the new seat?

[tjhallum]

@cedartie Installing the aftermarket Saddlemen seat is the simplest possible modification. It only takes a minute or two, and only requires removing one hex bolt.

Hi are they after market pillion seat and rider seat? If so where did you get them from? Thanks

[tjhallum]

@merlinfluff Yes, the seat is after market. It's a Saddlemen Explorer, which is a one piece seat that fills Saddlemen's touring niche. I find it to be a very comfortable seat that still manages to look nice. My wife hated the stock torture device and probably likes the explorer even more than I do. Finally, it's quite a bit cheaper than Mustang's comparable offering.

In terms of where I got it from, I actually got mine new from an ebay store. But this seat isn't hard to find. Google it.

I'd buy it if I hadn't lived in Moscow(((

About the crush seals, I haven't seen or read anything about them, but they (vance and hines) did say to get the O2 screens? Can you please shed some light on what I should be doing correctly?

I got these pipes on my 2009 M50 and didnt use a crush sleave...I dont think you need them? as for your neck and sholder pain..go to E bay and look up shapemaster inc. they have a 1' inch spacer to fix that...WITHOUT new cables..

[snowkatt]

Nice pipes. But where did you get that small windshield? NICE!

Better raise those bags a bit, Ive got the same V&H on my 05 Bully with the second set of the same saddleman's in the past 2 years. Put a jug of milk in the right one and 'burn baby burn' takes on a whole new meaning. You've got a great looking setup though. Aside from the 26K I've put on mine it still rides like day one. Sidenote: any idea where I can get a backrest replacement pad and plate? Mine went byebye a few K ago? Keep the shinny side up bro...and "whatever" to all the non-Ams.

hey, just thought i'd give you an update on my c50 handlebar installation on my m50. According to the shop I had it done at, it was quite tricky re-routing the cables, and I spent three weeks waiting for a new, longer clutch cable to come in. I mentioned to him what you told me about re-routing the stock cables behind the tripple tree but he insisted to do a proper job he'd need a new cable. Nonetheless it was WELL worth the wait as I no longer have any back, neck or shoulder pain while riding.
