@@frankawuku419 Hi, Memphis Shade makes handlebar mounted windshields in a variety of styles and colors, I had one on a BMW before and they use quality components. Good luck to you!

@@MrGerald619 Hi, it mounts back the same way it came off, right in its original location.

@@kwas99 Thanks! I removed the tail light housing and spliced the brake light wires right there, I used bullet connectors so it could easily be replaced or removed. The modulator fit in a cavity on the underside of the tail light. If you don’t want to remove the tail light assembly you could access the wiring harness under the seat and mount it somewhere in there, I had considered that option. Good luck with your install! 😉

@@rks475 Hello, I am 5’9” and I look over the top of the windshield, which is my preference, I really don’t like looking through a bug splattered or dirty windshield. This mid height windshield is a good compromise between wind protection and style, because you kind of sit down in the Boulevard the mid height does a good job of protection without feeling like you’re riding behind a barn door. As far as where the wind hits me, it is right across the top of my full coverage helmet, and that happens mostly over 55 mph. I can for sure hear wind noise , but I wear ear plugs so that’s not an issue. But I get no annoying buffeting. I had a Memphis Shade windshield on a BMW that had such severe buffeting that it would actually blur my vision at highway speeds. Bottom line, if maximum wind protection is your desire, get the bigger shield. If you want to look over the top and keep the wind blast off of your body, I can whole heartedly recommend the mid height. Good luck to you whichever way you go. Thanks for watching, -Bob

@@bob7230 Thanks for the quick reply and great info. I'm thinking I want the Chopped that you have, that info will help in my decision. Appreciate it! Love your red color, sharp!

Hello, not a link but both are available on EBay. For the lightbar do a search for Suzuki Chrome Lightbar Assembly 990A0-72005, you can even do a Google search and you should find several. For the brake light modulator, EBay search FXC 24W flash strobe controller, there are a ton of them. Also available on Amazon. Good luck to you. 😉

@@bob7230 Thank you, Sir!

For light use , yes. I restored a couple of old motorcycles and used this ultrasonic cleaner for cleaning carburetors and all sorts of hardware. It does a good job. The tank is on the small side and sometimes I had to partially submerge , run it , then rotate the part to get it all clean. After a couple of years the outer plastic housing cracked, but it kept working. Don’t think that it will clean internal passageways on carburetors though, you still have to clear those with carburetor spray. It did a really good job on gunky hardware. If you plan to use it a lot, I would look for one with a stainless steel housing and a larger interior. 👍🏻

@@bob7230 I would be mostly be using it to clean parts on my lawn mower, so I think it will be perfect. thx for the info!

Thank you! I’m very happy with it. Thanks for watching! 🙂

@@bob7230 HI Bob - this is TX650A VanIslander. Your bike looks like a long day's ride would be effortless!

@@johnjaques342 Ha! Thanks, you know I thought that might be you! 😉 Yeah, it’s a very comfortable bike to ride, I like it very much!

Hi, the windshield is the mid height Switchblade by National Cycle. If you’re looking for maximum protection, you might be happier with the full height windshield. At speeds under 55-60 mph it is great, at higher speeds I get a small amount of buffeting ( I’m 5’9” ) it doesn’t really bother me as I wear a full coverage helmet with ear plugs. It does a great job of taking the pressure off of my body and I can easily look over the top. I really like it!

Yes, it does come standard with a passenger seat. I ride solo and I just like the look of the fender rack. A combination luggage rack / passenger backrests is available on EBay and are inexpensive. I used to have one on this bike.

@@bob7230 awesome. Thanks.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks! Yeah I like the Red much better too, it really pops in the sunlight. Funny you mention your Triumph Bonneville America being set up similarly, I also had a 2007 Triumph America , blue and white, and I set it up the same way. It was a beautiful bike, I loved it! 😃

Yeah thanks! Yeah it really is a nice bike and it’s been around for a long time now. Unfortunately cruisers in general are in decline. They used to be the largest segment but now every brand has slashed or eliminated their cruiser models.

The windshield is the “Chopped” item # N21423 ( 15.2 “ from headlight cutout to top of the screen ) for this windshield you have to buy the quick release mounting kit separately , part number is , KIT-Q202. This set up is not cheap but it is very high quality in fit and appearance. The same thing goes for the crash bar, you can buy inexpensive bars on EBay, but you can see the difference in quality. The crash bars are the Cobra regular 1.25 inch , part number should be 01-1325. Verify the numbers for yourself before ordering anything. Something I found when I was looking for accessories is that , Suzuki has been making this model for so long that some places don’t update their catalog when they say what model years they fit. The last major change to this bike was back in 2009 when they made the bike fuel injected and some other physical changes. So almost all parts that will fit a 2009, will fit everything from then up until now. Are you currently putting together C50 for yourself? -Bob 😎

@@bob7230 Thanks for the info Bob. Been looking at getting a c50. Ur upgrades motivate me more to get one. Thanks!

@@sall6182 You’re welcome, I bought mine new. But honestly there are so many low mileage used ones out there that are in great shape, that would be the smart thing to do! 😄 Any year after 2009 , that’s when they became fuel injected. It’s a great bike, I love mine. ❤️

​@@bob7230the C50 has been fuel injected since 2005.

Thanks!

Thanks! The crash bars are made by Cobra, I looked at a lot of the different ones for sale and I thought these were the nicest quality. The fender rack is made for a Sportster, you can find them all over EBay no drilling required but I made an adapter for each end so that it would bolt down to the rear seat mounts. The windshield is a quick release National Cycle mid height and the bags are Viking leather bags.

@@bob7230 thanks! Are those the "Skarner" style bags in a Large?

Just noticed you mentioned all the details in the description...lol

@@sall6182 Yes those are Viking Skarner saddlebags size large. Mounted with the included mounting kit from Viking. They’re very nice!

Hey Pete! Thanks ! Yeah we’re all good here. Hope you and your family are doing good as well. Looking forward to “The big thaw” so you can get you can get back in the barn and get your Model A going! 😉

Thank you!

It's like a big Royal Enfield Interceptor 650

Yeah, let him clamp on!

Thank you! When I first restored this bike I did a factory correct paint job , you can see it in some of my other videos. But when that tank had a catastrophic failure of a tank liner, I sourced another tank and had it painted in the style of the XS1B, which I have always been a fan of. Like you I have always been a fan of that paint graphic style. I had a friend of mine in Kansas City paint the tins for me and he did a fantastic job!

Yes it does, the Boyer has an electronic advance.
