Boulevard / Intruder turn signal project
Description: swapping the original Suzuki Boulevard / Intruder turn signals to smaller LED ones I’ve never cared for the ice-cream-scooper-with-oranges-at the-end look that most cruiser turn signals have. I prefer much smaller ones, but given the fact that turn signals are primarily safety devices I would not want anything that are actually worse than the…
Suzuki Boulevard / Intruder shaft drive rust issue
Descprition: Suzuki Boulevard M50 / Intruder M800 shaft drive rust issue Well, crap! I decided to take a look inside the shaft drive tube, because of the potential rusting issue this model has (Both M50 and C50). Turns out I should have done this immediately after getting the bike. The lower end was baked in…

Mystery plug under the seat
It turns out there is no electrical gremlin on the bike. I’m just stupid. For some reason I assumed that the “empty” plug under the seat might be an AUX power source. I haven’t been able to find one on this model. Apparently the previous model had one inside the headlight bucket. Comment below if…
Fuse box location for 2010-current Intruder M800 / Boulevard M50
In my search for a possible electrical gremlin I needed to access the fuse box. Having left the owners manual at the office I expected to still find it easily (as one usually does). After removing panels here and there I wasn’t finding anything. Even removed the battery just in case. My Google search came…

Check for rust under tank cover
Another OCD thing, but I hate rust. I was going through the bike and took of the tank cover. I noticed that the mounting bolt holes had rusted and created pools of rust buildup under the cover / on top of the tank. No biggie, but I rather not have that there. I cleaned the…
