Suzuki Boulevard C50 Bobber Build FINAL DAY

WOOHOO It's DONE! And it is AWESOME! I LOVE the way it came out both in appearance and especially the way it rides! I think most of the difference is all the parts I replaced - new shock and all new bearings - plus the BlueCollarBobbers.com seat is OUTSTANDING. Absolutely perfect, you just float down the road in style! It finally stopped raining long enough to give it a wash, revealing the GORGEOUS white walls! I went down to the gas station to fill her up and had a blast through the neighborhood. I got the garage all cleaned back up, tools away (I really need a big tool chest now) and did the official 'after' photoshoot. I also go over the costs of the project in detail, plus talk about what worked well and what didn't so if you are interested in your own project you have a better understanding of what to expect. Oh yeah, I talk about some STUPID mistakes I made so you can avoid them. Big props again to BlueCollarBobbers for the excellent quality parts!

[@Turbulenz100]

It was a real pleasure being a virtual guest in your garage. Thanks for sharing your project with us!

[@Muddr1nker]

watching this has made me decide to do a Boulevard C50 Bobber build myself

[@Mrinspiredby]

Absolutely beautiful job! You have inspired me to do one. I'll wait till winter first. Oh how may times did you stub your toe since you were bear footed practically the whole time while you were doing this project? LOL!

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Darin Marshall Same number of times the bike came plummeting down because I didn't use straps! lol ZERO ;)

[@Markchance08]

Dang, I watched all of your videos about this bike and you nailed it, probably the best looking bobber I’ve ever seen, is there a way you can link everything you use to bob it? Like the seat fenders etc. I’m gonna get different light kits to save some money, BCB light are too expensive for me, anyway good job on this one.

[@jamesbrady6824]

Have you tried using a heat gun on the emblem? It might relieve some of the stress in the plastic allowing you to mold it to the shape of the tank. Just a thought! Love the vids!

[@aussie1546]

very nice, but invest in pipes and remove those, they just look awkward

[@mikesanchezgsxr]

Aussie 1 agree. I got the cobra Street Rod pipes on my bike and a Cobra FO2000R Power Pro Black fuel tuner and love it.

[@catalasfamily6549]

Beautiful bike ... where did you get the rear and front fender? Love the white walls where can I get them

[@MichaelSmith-mm3fd]

I watched most of your series on your C50 build, and got inspired to reignite my motorcycle life. Haven't been on a bike in 5 years, but picked up a super sweet (with ALL the extras) 2005 C50, yesterday. Thanks.

[@Scott_AI5EF]

Well done my friend. Well Done! ~Hilman

[@Luistip]

...good job ...an example of learning by doing, successful ...congratulations!...

[@naterobertson3366]

This is an excellent video brother! You did a phenomenal job she is gorgeous! I am doing the same thing my bike . My 2004 will hopefully look a lot like your bike when I'm finished God willing. Again thank you so much for sharing this friend! Maybe someday we'll ride together brother God bless you

[@FernandoDIY]

im bit late but the badges have LH and RH, if you put them the wrong way they will lift. anyway good job on your build

[@Snyper600]

Awesome job, well done!! I have a 2008 C50 and have done some work on it. But it doesn't compare what you have done with this bike. I watched the whole series whenever I had a chance. You done an excellent job explaining and showing the steps taken. I am kind of sad that it is finished. I guess now I will check out your site. Once again awesome job, the bike looks sick!!

[@bassintexas6706]

WHAT!!! I AM A SUBSCRIBER TO CIGAR OBSESSION... How did I find you here so random and so cool Ha! Hello!

[@RidingFromDawn2Dusk]

Bravo nice job.. well done. I agree with Bob Oliver below use the heat gun and get them really warm while over something with the same profile, heat them till they sag to the same shape and let them cool under gravity then they will stay that shape.

[@steffanan]

Congratulations! Watching this build was an absolute blast, such a perfect second bike to have.

[@vintagetintrader1062]

I just picked up a 2006 M50 for $250, but it’s extremely corroded so researching converting it to a bobber

[@ronaldreynolds9870]

Thanks 4 video i like ur bike I have a 2021 suzuki boulevard vl800 c50 it's Kool too I have no mods to it..

[@deniker1]

Try your heat gun on the badges just to re-shape them. I do it off the tank and the mount them

[@vanamee692]

Or place badges in boiling water; It might allow the badges to be reshaped to the desired curvature.

[@Dfsblue55]

Bike turned out cool af! As far as the emblem is concerned, did you try a heat gun on it while it was off the bike and the shaped it to the bike while it was malleable before you tried to attach it?

[@MesserAaron13]

still need a better exhaust, i would use a different tank, and try to get a manifold made so you can toss the airbox and use pod filters but all-in-all its not too bad. Also i would just take the badges off and leave them off.

[@ArizonaRE]

Looks great! Pity about the paint, though. Overall I'd say a really damn good job! That bike has looks to spare B-)

[@shiridorany4544]

םפ

[@gar3938]

Hello there from Alabama and i have the same bike and like it alot what you did and i am curious what was the total cost of the build ? Thinking of doing something to mine and really like your idea .

[@dfraserml11]

I also bought these emblems but I heated them gently enough to enable me to bend then where required , let them cool in the said position and fitted them to the bike without any problem.

[@Bookerdevin101]

Only thing I would change is sticking a Harley Davidson emblem 🤣

[@luisgil1381]

Did you have to cut anything to install the bobber? Also do you have the link to the license plate attachment?

[@myaki7]

tried looking for the used bike checklist you mentioned... but i couldn't find it. which video is it?

[@bobby.digital3]

This bike is awesome I have the same bike looking to do the same. Where did you get all the bobber build from

[@9999plato]

The struts are on the inside on the front but on the outside on the rear, Is that because they dont fit well on the rear or an aesthetic thing?

[@princeoffame100]

very nice do you have the link for the front and rear fenders and the seat base

[@LasVegasGuitarStudio]

Bike looks great and the video series was excellent. As good as any 'car guy' channel I've seen.

[@b_aleman]

I know that you no longer own the bike and you probably will not respond to this question. I have watched the entire series and I loved your project so much I purchased a 2005. However, did you find any issues with the front fender being too short and slinging rocks into the radiator? It’s a concern of mine.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Nope no such issue - thanks for watching!

[@9999plato]

A hair dryer might have softened the plastic emblem for shaping.

[@billnye198]

Absolutely gorgeous. Great music selection as well. Have you noticed any issues with the smaller fairings letting the tires kick up water or dirt onto you?

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The guy that bought it does lol.

[@danbattaglia6085]

I like the bike! Was wondering ware you got the rear fender?

[@nickheinz3737]

I watched this 5 years later and the final result was very nice.

[@ronwyatt8635]

Well done mate. Looks great and I love the color. Good choice of color for the seat also. Not sure if the exhaust mod on your exhaust has been done but if not it does give you a deeper note compared to the original exhaust and is quite an easy mod to do. Look forward to a vid of you cruising around on it. Cheers.

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Ron Wyatt Yep already gutted :)

[@npr1300A8]

She looks absolutely beautiful! I'm a big fan of red especially a red like that. I can relate to doing things when tired and making mistakes and not having the sense to walk away from it. Looking forward to seeing the new videos with that lovely exhaust note. Well done.

[@duffa01]

good looking bike,was with you all the way,you going to sell it?

[@jayjack2768]

Hold on!!! You're on of my favorite cigar guys!

[@JEP1976]

Never liked red....Never liked chrome....buuuutttt That thing looks fantastic! Great job. Stupid emblems would drive me nuts. I would still be swearing if that happened to me. :) I found a 1979 Suzkuki gs850 for $800. I am hoping to pick it up later next week. Thinking of a cafe racer bobber with burnt orange tank/fenders and maybe some black chrome acc.

[@illduitmyself]

i wish their kits had a lower seat. it sits too high. looks funny.

[@genxfordguy1380]

Clean up your tires .. easily? :) Simple Green.

[@2001himax]

Wonder what the guy you bought it from would think of it now. Fantastic job. Norman

[@Fumingzeus]

Could you not heat it with a heat gun and then bend it to fit the tank?

[@eathernlawsonmusic9280]

where did u buy all the bobber fenders and springer seat ?

[@punisher6001]

Hey Brian, what a surprise? I am a fan of your (cigar obsession) and your cigars reviews. Recently - 4 months ago - I bought a Boulevard C-50, the same color of yours. So, I go often to youtube to "learn" things etc etc... and it was a surprise learn that my cigar guru has a Suzuki. By the way, good job!

[@genxfordguy1380]

I don't have words to say that would describe this amazingly high quality conversion. I would however change ONE thing. That bike needs to have a set of aftermarket pipes. the stock pipes just look so out of place.

[@royfrye2871]

Heat Gun will let you tweak the shape of those emblems

[@leeyork5473]

Your bobber,looks amazing! Good job,bravo!

[@1_andonly_1]

Beautiful bike. You inspired me to buy a c50 and convert it into a bobber. In your parts list. What size and brand white wall tires did you buy. Also what is the size of the seat 11" or 13?

[@Downfishy1]

Did you use the FJR paint code? wanting to paint my Shadow the same Metallic Red.

[@normanbuffett4642]

this bike is so cool, I love these bobber kit projects. I have a 2003 Volusia 800 with 39000 on it and have been thinking about it for a while. I don't have your patience though. I'd be throwing shit all over the garage. You did a great job it is awesome

[@victormezquita2723]

Hello , Incredible sound and beautiful suzuki, for me it's an excellent machine and the background music is fantastic , I Am the owner of aF SUZUKI VL 800 2001 AND i LOVE IT, congratulations for your bike, nice really very nice job

[@HilBilySasquatch]

Wow!!!! Bryan it turned out GREAT!!!! nice job... you had some headaches but you pulled through.. love the color.. good choice. makes me want to do a bobber project. thanks again for the great series of videos on your bobber..

[@bobtracey7689]

Your intro music is the same as the intro music used for corporate training for the company I work for. I just placed it. It is disconcerting, but I still really enjoy your videos. Thanks for the welcome distraction.

[@SNS-yo1nb]

FYI, I have a 05 and it is fuel injected.

[@phillipvazquez284]

One more question for the life of me I CANNOT find chrome brake and slush levers for my boulevard c50 I have a 2015 and I try several and they don't fit like it should I had to send them back from merchants. Because they didn't fit correctly for a 2015 c50 boulevard

[@k5tux]

Hard to believe it's the same bike you started with. Fantastic project, Bryan. Thanks for sharing.

[@stevenedwards4470]

Bike looks great. After watching all of these, I almost feel as bed as you do about the emblem FUBAR. That looks messy as you filmed it after you washed it. I wouldn't fool with it more. Id tape the the tank above and below and toothpick some 5 minute epoxy in there. Hold it for ten minutes (while enjoying a smoke) and bungee it like you said for a day. That stuff bonds just about anything really strong. Maybe try to clean up some of the old adhesive first

[@tomhall3940]

Looks good. I'm considering doing the same kind of job on my 2006 low mile suziku. Probably will in a couple of months after my broken foot heals. Damn those moron cage drivers.

[@eagles107]

Wow, fantastic job,you've done there...Bravo again...You know what ! Your name plate there (Boulevard) take them of the tank and then first put them agains the tank and with that air blower, try to give them the same shape your tank have,it's plastic you will be able to replicate the shape you need and you wont have any problem to glue them on the tank,no drilling no cut...Just a little heat to bend them and it will fit like a glove...Have fun and thanks again i really enjoy watching you...Ta Da...BaDa Bing BaDa Boom....LoL. Claude

[@phillipvazquez284]

Ryan love your knowledge on bikes you videos always help me so much I have a 2015 Suzuki boulevard c50 may I ask would you be able to guide me to see how could I install a second running light I have posi taps and posi locks I think I have a idea but I don't want to mess anything up. Please help me with that ..

[@gastondeveaux3783]

Absolutely gorgeous bike. Looks like you kept the stock exhaust. I'm looking to buy a bike to convert to a bobber, but I don't like super loud straight pipes. Amazing job. I recognize you from tour cigar videos too, right?

[@pjcliffo]

Really enjoyed your project, you were really fast yet careful. I nearly had a heart attack when you said superglue! Let us know how you finish up with the emblems. I would have angled a piece of timber from the floor to the emblem to hold it tin place and some heat will probably help. Do a video of what it's like to ride, a road test. Cheers and now get some sleep.

[@motorcyclezeal4813]

Hey Bryan, I just finished the series, had me entertained all week. I just got the same year c50 last Friday and it was great to watch you show in detail how things come off, how things go on , maintenance etc. mine has a nice sounding cobra exhaust and air filter with the power commander 3 hooked up and a sporty handlebar like yours and a good looking tank bra. I just passed the msf class a couple weeks back and this is my first bike. It's got just over 19000 miles and will see many more now. Thanks again, your effort is appreciated and I hope your wife got the job or at least all that crap out of your garage so you can do another project!

[@SirKingHoff]

Some matte black pipes would look sick.

[@mawsonjamali8708]

where did u get the bobber kit from? thanks

[@claytonhughes5975]

It looks great Bryan! Excellent job on the video series also. I'm not a bike owner but watching your TWO videos puts me in the mind to find one. Thanks so much for taking us along for the ride.

[@AConcernedCitizen420]

Use a heat gun on plastic to shape. Apply while hot and it should cool in place. Just don't scorch the chrome! lol This bike makes a nice bobber!

[@SirKingHoff]

I just got a steal of a deal for a C50 in the spring as a present to myself for my birthday, 1.5k miles for $4,000. Absolutely love it.

[@evelynsouzaferreira4593]

Thanks for sharing this project. If you had told me a month ago I would be watching a rebuild of a motorbike I would have called you nuts, but really looked forward to the uploads. Great project and you have done an outstanding job. Much appreciated

[@anthonythomason4935]

Love the bike,only thing I would have done different is put on shorter pipes and pegs. But again that's all personal preference,truly looks great man.

[@tomfjr3872]

Congrats on your new toy. Well done. Thanks for sharing your experience/expertise with us. Ride safe.

[@armandofelix98]

Where did you get that license plate holder

[@MIKESGARAGE813]

I live in Tampa. What's the locksmith that did the rekeying.

[@RSti-sn8ro]

What bars and risers? Looks amazing

[@ernestomarquez7023]

What brand are those white walls I've been trying to do that to my 2009 Suzuki m50

[@mikenolan981]

did you get your seat and back fender from Blue Collar bobbers?

[@mikenolan981]

nevermind I should have waited for the video too end it answered my question LOL

[@EdwardBrowne]

love what you've done. I'm looking to start riding. I'm not sure I could do all of want you did with this build but it looks great.

[@Docdaugh]

It LOOKS AWESOME! Good job! Love the color and the whitewalls.

[@chillbro2275]

been watching your vids for a while bikes i've considered, and this one felt like i got to meet you finally. And i liked the experience. Very intelligent and organized!

[@abdulazizal-ibrahim5859]

Finally just finished the project videos , and it’s perfectly done congrats and great job I think i’ll do it too but needs to change the exhaust.

[@blackhawk2475]

Excellent finished product Bryan... It was all worth every minute and I enjoyed watching the project from start to finish.

[@dalhoctex4041]

I've gotta learn to ride and get one. Your hard work paid off...nice custom bike!

[@judasplow25]

Those 30 foot pipes look redick.

[@josejaramillo909]

Excellent I am planning buy this model next week and I will reopen all 24 videos.

[@francomonoblanco]

That bike looks sooo good!!! What color paint did you use? I know it is Yamaha from what you said.

[@giloquendo]

Awesome build I have a 2005 and I want to do that let me know how much will you charge me to do it

[@willyb933]

She's a beauty! Great color and the whitewalls really set it off. Thanks for sharing your project!

[@TJ-HBMCC]

those pipes gotta go, some short shots or cobra swept would look amazing id love to see what it looks like now

[@TwoWheelObsession]

The guy who bought it last year loved it as-is.

[@TJ-HBMCC]

don't get me wrong like it looks and sounds really nice the way it is there, im just a big fan of the custom smaller pipes, just bought an 07 c50 myself hence i found the video, probably one of if not the best c50 i've seen on youtube

[@Bass.Player]

I had a M109 for awhile. I clean all my new tires with brake clean to get all the release agent off...

[@deniapacalda7017]

can u talk about how tired u are

[@SuthernCalMotovlogs]

I HAVE to do one now!! This winter hopefully.

[@BAHRAMCR]

you really need to spend your money on a new house with 6 car garage, hehehe. That is my dream.

[@216gamer]

how much was the white wall tires?

[@BAHRAMCR]

The best part of this is shaft drive, no more chain cleaning and lubing.

[@justinpesterfield4410]

Looking at buying a black Stock 05' Suzuki Boulevard C50. How much to bob it out like this? I would leave it black. Thanks Justin

[@TwoWheelObsession]

Depends on what you want to do exactly. A few hundred to a few thousand. It's up to you.

[@PedroDVC]

What a lovely bike man!

[@JEP1976]

Can you use a strong magnet to hold the badges on until the tape holds it?
