Default XJ650/Boulevard M50 bobber build thread

So, recently I decided to give bikes a go and I am already in love. Keep in mind I have never even touched a motorcycle or ridden anything other than a 125cc dirt bike. So now you'll understand If i'm a pleb at this.

I picked up an awesome stock 07 M50 off a co-worker for a grand. Runs, rides and everything with only 6K miles. I immediately didn't like the taillight assembly and knew I had to bob it.

Its pretty clean minus a dent in the gas tank and one of the Headers was punctured which I fixed with some pipes off Craigslist for 25 bucks. I then cut the taillight assembly from the taillight down to get rid of the moped look, It looks a lot better but still not my cup of tea.


I then took the rear fender off and love the look. I might cut the seat fome to make it more narrow sine it is pretty wide, and I need to make a bracket to mount it since the stock seat is fender mounted. The blinker threads fit perfect in the holes where the fender strut bolt holes were so I will be placing them there. As well as a side mount license plate.
