I have a 2005 Suzuki Boulevard C90. I got it from a buddy last year and it's the first bike I've ever owned or rode. Everything I know to this day about motorcycles has been learned on this bad boy. Would love to get an Indian/Harley one day but I will ride this comfortable lounge chair until it dies. And by "dies" I mean it is literally unrepairable.

Here it is the day I trailered it home.



As soon as I got it home, I started removing all kinds of stuff off the bike. Removed the saddlebags and the leather whips off of the handlebars.

The bike was not running so I had to do quite a bit or work on it. I also should tell you that I am not a mechanic at all. I know NOTHING about vehicles/bikes but I want to learn and I thought this would be a great opportunity to learn some new skills. Between YouTube, Forums, and some neighbors who know a bit about mechanical processes, I began tackling things. I ended up replacing the battery, stator, regulator rectifier, air filter, and rear brake line. I also swapped out all fluids (motor oil, gear oil, brake/clutch fluids). Started riding and fell in love.

I also added the following:
- New Saddlebags (Viking Bags)
- LED Headlight
- LED Turns
- LED Brakes
- Smoked Lenses
- Kuryakyn Kinetic Grips (and throttle boss)
- Mini Apes
- Stainless Braided cables

Here is where the bike is at as of right now.








Next up on the list of mods is:
- Custom Dynamic driving lights/turns (purchased, need to fab a new plate to attach them to)
- GMann Exhaust System
- Fuel Pack


My neighbor Joe and I are going to ride our bikes to HBH this year. Pretty freaking pumped for that trip!

Let's see your bikes!

What do you have?
What have you done to it?
What are you going to do to it?
Where do you ride?
Are we going on a trip together?

Here's mine:


What have I done to it? Not much, just a few small cosmetic changes
It's still pretty much stock.

What am I going to do? I think it needs some turquoise and rhinestones to jazz it up a bit.

Where do I ride? Mostly to bedazzler conventions.

Are we going on a trip together? Maybe. Need to figure out why my gas mileage has been suffering. Seemed to be better back when I bought it... not sure what's going on.

When I first started riding I went with a cruiser - the Boulevard was high on the but I settled on the Honda Shadow (A.C.E). Eventually traded that for a Honda Interceptor (VFR) 800.

That was sold a few years back as I was spending more of the riding time playing golf instead (and with short ride seasons here the bike sat more than it was used).

It's getting to be that time where I'll be picking up something in the next year or two. I have the itch again!
