I agree, I love the V&H Cruzers. Best money I have spent on my bike so far.
Your bikes looking good, I really like your sissy bar it's got a good solid look to it.

Yes the sissy bar is nice and solid it's a Suzuki one with the Suzuki S in the back which is chrome, I had it fitted when the bike was new.

I have taken every Suzuki, Intruder & C800 emblem and sticker off of my bike as I like the unbranded look.
However I absolutely love the Suzuki S on their sissy bars and chrome radiator grills.
I really don't like my sissy bar or the angle that it sits at so I think in the not to distant future I will be copying you with the sissy bar & while I am at it I will put the Suzuki rad cover on as well

I think the rad grill looks pretty good as well, maybe a future buy for me.

I agree, I think the sissy bar looks better than a lot that I have seen because it looks solid.
Bike looks sweet Mr Pledge Sir, love the Saddle bags they look very authentic

Bike looks great. I don't normally change my stuff from stock but them there V&H Cruzers look the bees.

Agree the V&H look good, as does sissy bar, mine is a cheapy and I think it shows.

That's how I feel about mine, I wish I knew as much back then when I bought a lot of my aftermarket stuff as I do now

Glad you like the bike, the bags are not made fit the c800 I got them from a leather shop in Coventry when I lived there.

Glad you like the bike, I am really chuffed with the way the Cruzers look and the sound is great it's like a different bike .

Nice and clean bike, black is always looking good on a Bike.

Hi Pledge fully agree the V&H Cruisers make a big and pleasant difference,bike looks well.Watch your saddle bag though,it is looking to low to your exhaust in the pic,only an observation,for mine scratched mine until I lifted them up a bit.

The V&H are best thing I'v done on the bike I really do like them, the differance is unbelievable and the sound is mega. The bags do look a bit close to the exhausts but they don't touch at all in fact they are a bit higher than with the stock exhausts.

Hi I done mine on the 16/06/2011 with a K&N filter and to date have not added or modified the FI system in any way,and find that my bike runs perfectly well.A lot of people say the need fuel processors and the like,have you found this.

I also have a K&n filter, and have had a Powercommander fitted.

Oh thats a worry, the bike runs lean straight out of the factory due to EU emission laws.
To add an after market exhaust is pretty much excepted by most as ok but a K&N as well. Your bike will be running very lean, which is not good at all. The proofs in the pudding my friend, check your plugs, I am sure they will have a story to tell! Running very lean is bad!!!!!!!

Hi Dave have had the tank off and checked the plugs loverly light brown.I fully understand were you are coming from,I will keep an eye on the plugs as these will be the first indication.Thanks for the advice

Are the saddlebag restraints made by Suzuki?

Suzuki original parts are very expensive and the supports are made by numerous suppliers.

Sorry I have only just noticed this about your sissy bar. Did the saddlebag restraints come with it?

They do not come as a package but are bought seperatelly
