the 2010+ m50s in the rest of the world are also styled that way. might look into the parts there. maybe one of the ca/eu folks can get their hands on the parts diagram.

shouldnt be all that difficult. it just a headlight.

I'm afried I'm in the same boat. Personally I think that thing is hidious.... But if you want it you can probably get it. Maybe the Euro ebay site? Again the Euro guys have them in dealerships currently but at a cost. Otherwise there are many cowled headlight options out there. I'm quite partial to the Triumph Thunderbird headlight cowl set up. Had thought about a Ducati '60s Cafe Racer style cowl except the handlebar reliefs wouldn't match up.

Good Luck and Welcome!

I hate it! the rear fender, the headlght cowling, the silvery wheels . . . . . uuuurrrggghhh!
I think Suzuki is struggling with the non-bagger cruiser idea. The 109s are selling hot. The C modles sell just fine. But it's just progress. Something good, something forgotten, something new and redesigned. Seems like Yamaha is on top of thier game with the Stryker and Raider though.

If money wasn't an issue I would be riding a 2011 M109. Black w/orange stripe. It's a real muscle/sport cruiser. It fly's and I like the look. Nicer than a V-Rod, V-Max or anything else available in that category. I know a guy who raced a Star Warrior on one and it wasn't even close! But, different strokes for different folks!

Well what with owning one and all.. I like it! I likes it a lot :)

Although, It would have been nice to not have all that stupid chrome... If I wanted a chromed out bike I would've been more apt to buy the c50.

Agreed, Suzuki could use a factory murdered line up / option.

Meh might be nice but then tearing it apart, repainting, adding stuff... thats half the fun

Here's as close as I could come to a V Rod or Vmax on a previous attempt. It might give you an idea about what it would look like with a less-traditional light. People either love it or hate it - I love it but my wife hates it lol!
