Great job, the bike looks great. I did similar accessories to my Triumph America 2016. Wish I had the shaft drive though. Red is super bright. Like it better than the gray option.
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! 😃
I'm thinking of purchasing this bike and my wife wants to ride on the back. I was under the impression there was a seat for a passenger also.. You removed it and replaced with the rack it seems.
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.
With that windshield, where does the wind hit your helmet? And does your line of sight vision go over top of that windshield? I have a C50 and am considering the Switchblade but not sure what size I want. Thanks!
@@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!
@@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!
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 😎
@@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. ❤️
That's a great looking bike, and you don't have to take out a mortgage to buy it. With money in your pocket, let the miles and smiles begin! Ride safe
Great looking bike and clean!!! Appreciate you sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Tasteful additions to your bike 👍
Thanks!

Is that windshield the "Chopped" or "Shorty" version. And the crash bars is that the "fatty" 1.5 inch or "regular" 1.25 inch? Thanks.
