Just picked up an '08 Boulevard C50T
- Thread starter SEVEN40iL
- Start date
So I got some goodies in the mail!
Radiantz LED Tail light board, rear clear red LED turn signals and front clear amber LED turn signals
Stock look before the change
Got the red light cover off
Radiantz LED board in place, added a bit more double sided tape, as the provided tape wasn't enough to my liking!
Testing before I close up the light
Light closed up
Closed up and Lit up
Then I went to install the LED turn signals, and the left side installed in a few seconds. When I got to the right side, I found out that the previous owner had replaced the turn signal, with what I am assuming is an older turn signal, as the bulb base is not the same as the other side. Luckily the PO did provide me with the turn signal that he replaced in case I needed an extra lens. I tried the LED bulb holder in that, and it fit as it should. So now I have to do some wiring to swap over that bulb holder into the turn signal that was replaced.
So since I couldn't do the turn signals, I decided to get the hair dryer out and remove that sticker from the fender
This thing did NOT want to peel off. Anytime I would get a good portion peeled enough to pull, it would just crack off. After a good 20 minutes of scrapping it off with my fingernails, I got it all off. Had some Goo-Gone handy to get rid of the residue, but wasn't able to get it fully off. Anyone have any better luck with it?
Thanks for looking!

Where did you order from and how quick was shipping?
My LED board that came with the Clear Alternatives kit was like yours. Becareful in the daytime. Drivers can't really see that light. At least you saved 5w of power.
I want to get the clear turn signals for the front.

Lanny, I bought them from ChromeGlow. They were here in 4 days from Florida!
I may not use the front clear amber LED turn signals that I got, since it looks so clean, but will be making that decision this weekend.
PM me your number, and if I decide not to use them, you can pick them up from me instead of ordering.

3rd mod, custom license plate!
4th mod, got myself a Mustang Wide Touring Vintage seat!
Pics of the seat on the bike to follow. I installed it last night and then went for a "test drive" so didn't really get to a picture!
Thanks for looking and I will be updating this thread as time goes on and more mods get done!
Not bad for having the bike for 3 weeks right?

haha yes it does! I just went and made another account
Added a dual bulb HID kit to the bike this weekend, 6000k low beams at 35 w and a normal halogen for the high beam/flash to pass.
I went this route as if for any reason the HID unit fails, I then have a back up halogen bulb to keep me safe.

Got the same one too. Where did you pick yours up? I got mine for $50 at Daytonamotorsport.
Finally added my front turn signals, along with my GoPro camera mount on the bars.
Also installed stock pipes with the Honest Abe mod, thanks to M50Dave! Loving the sound from the bike now!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newest mod, Jim's 2" Riser Spacers along with relocating the throttle cable from the front of the triple tree to the back of the triple tree.
Got the bars off, the Bouly looking like a Bull'y
Perfect fit and finish
Relocation of the throttle cables
And lastly, a gift from M50Dave, thanks bud!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Newest Mod, Debadged the bike!
Grabbed the hair dryer, some fishing line, a plastic disposable knife and some Goo-Gone.
This is what I started with:
Mid-way through
Clean!
Did the same for the side covers "C50"
Both together
Loving the clean look!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finally got around to doing the plate-drop mod!
Before
After
So since I was going with the theme of taking off or concealing all Suzuki emblems, my Suzuki license plate cover was flipped over so that none of the writing is visible. I call that a mod within a mod

Thought I would update my thread with other mods that were completed:
Swapping out the stock C50 drive for a C90 drive that spaces out the gearing for more comfortable cruising!
A big thank you to Dave for all his expertise in all forms!
Adriano, great meeting ya and thanks for the helping hands!
It was a good night. We got a lot accomplished AND documented!
First things first, get the bikes up on the lifts
Dave hard at work getting the drive/wheel off
Wheel is off!
Drive is off!
Now doing the same on George's bike
And an obligatory Wrench Party Picture!
Sorry no "Completed" pictures, you know what the drive looks like on the bike!
Thanks again fellas! It was a great time last night.
Now, to get more time in the saddle!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lowering the Bike!
Latest Mod! Lowering Links/Bones
Thanks to Moto-Suzi, aka George for his help and using his garage, tools and lift! Appreciate it!
Pics of course!
Bike up on the lift, undressing her to get to the links
Most of it apart, 2.5" links/bones installed
Finished, on the ground, with George sitting in the seat
All in all, this is exactly how I wanted the rear to be sitting in the first place!

Nice bike man, I have a C90T I bought last year and love it. Replaced grips, upgraded headlight and light bar lights, gps mount, mustang seat, stereo, engine light kit, throttle boss, k&n air and oil filter and amsoil, honest abe exhaust mod, loving it. If you are up to it pm me and maybe we can hook up for a ride this season, love to get some mod ideas from you. I like the clean look of yours.
Very cool bike and great pictures. I'm right next door in Georgetown, if you feel like riding this summer let me know. If you looking for any custom fabrication work, let me know got a great friend in Burlington owns his own shop. PM for any details or contact info.
Excellent! Love meeting fellow members with shared interests.
PM's coming inbound to the both of you!
