Cracked exhaust hanger

Cracked exhaust hanger

Hello fellow bikey biker boys,

My 2019 C90 BOSS has come up with a nasty crack on the exhaust mounting bracket on the back hanger. I think it’s stainless steel (non-magnetic and seems too thin to be aluminium), but other than that I was curious to see if anyone else has had experience with something like this and what lessons you may have learned from fixing it. Brother’s an experienced boilermaker so I was happy to get him to do it and pass any tips from the brains trust on.

Can't decide if this is cool... Or terrifying!

I promise no AI was used, but I DID adjust my trip counter for added effect. Also note the background of the picture. I couldn't make this shit up, I'm not that creative. 😂

Gear issues

Hi,

Once in a while while driving I can’t down gear, why is that?

In that case I have to accelerate at the traffic light in the third gear, it works but not good for the motorcycle. After a while it’s works again.

Any suggestions are very very much appreciated

Boulevard c50 2005 update

Hi everyone

So I learned how to access dealer mode and have the code c00 with the highest dash.

I tried turning on accessory mode with the gas cap opened to listen for the fuel pump and it made no sound. Maybe just a click but no whirring or anything else. Looking into the tank it looks like it may have rust damage or some other kind of debris in the fuel tank.

Then I opened the coolant reservoir to find that coolant was basically empty and had spilled out on the cover.

I plan to do a cleaning of the fuel tank and possibly replace the fuel pump as well as flush out the old coolant and add new.

Anyone know what the dealer code means?

Appreciate everyone helping me on this journey!

"Universal" light bar install on a C50

I've wanted to add the driving lights on my '05 C50 for a while, but the OEM light bar at $500 is ridiculous. I cheaped out and got one of the million of "universal" bars you see on amazon, temu, ali, ebay, etc. to give it a go.

Tried putting it on last night and the bracket for the thing is horizontal while the mounting screws for the turn signal bracket where i guess it should go are vertical.

I can't be the only one to have bought one of these things. Any tips on how to get this thing to work that doesn't requiring the ability to bend metal and weld??

Edit: some follow up, for anyone in a similar situation that may stumble upon this post.

I removed everything from the area: turn signals, air deflector, and headlight bucket to try to figure it out. It looks like this type of bar needs to go under the headlight bucket, not on the turn signal bracket. Also if you have a removable windshield, there isn’t enough room to put the classic 4.5” lights and remove the windshield, so you will need to either get creative with brackets and extensions, or get slim lights.

05 New To Me

Pickup up my first bike, a neat little S40. It was sitting for years with the previous owner so it's finally been cleaned up.

Looking for your recommendations for upgraded headlights, signals, etc.

Other mods that have made your ownership / riding easier.

Pretty bike huh

My first cruiser bike, coming from touring and adventure bikes. Finally cooled off a smidge down here in Texas so I took it out for a spin. 2019 C50 with added back rest and National Cycle Switchblade full-size quick release windshield. Just found this sub reddit.

2013 c50

When I get down to one bar of fuel (FI bike) it bigs bad when ever I try to open the throttle to pass or take off quick. It feels like it has either low fuel PSI, or a governor. Is this baseline operation or is my fuel pump taking a shit
