If you need some replacement parts or just want to make your Suzuki Boulevard C50 stand out in a crowd, Show Chrome can help you in either situation. Let’s take a look at a few shiny motorcycle accessories to get you started.

A way to add some safety up front, along with extra chrome, is with the Show Chrome 3.5″ Elliptical LED Light Kit. The traditional tube style, with a driving bar mount and a headlight mount bracket, comes with LED bulbs for extra bright vision. The 3.5″ spotlight gives you a better horizontal view so you can watch for animals that may bound across your path or a treacherous pothole in the road that just happens to appear.

Let’s slide a little lower on the front of your bike and add some shiny silver to the radiator. Normally a pretty boring motorcycle cover, you can spruce it up with the Show Chrome Celestar Radiator Grille. Not only does it shine, it has a stylish design stamped in the steel. Easy to install with the included hardware, it is simple to replace the OEM part.

Right behind the radiator, if you install the Show Chrome Suzuki Boulevard C50 ABS Chrome Neck Trim, you can continue that shiny silver statement. These install simply, in just a few minutes and are sold as a pair, so both sides of the neck area get the full chrome treatment.

Lower on the sides of your Boulevard C50, you can replace the painted OEM covers with some new Show Chrome - Chrome Side Covers. A great accent, they too are sold in pairs, so both sides will match and are super simple to install.

Not only will you continue the shine with this chrome accessory but you will also get a great design to add some personality to your motorcycle. Emblazoned with the “Live to Ride, Ride to Live, Free Spirit” motto and american eagle, the Show Chrome Air Cleaner Cover will definitely stand out in a crowd.

To finish off the front end of your Suzuki VL800 and to give you some comfort while riding, the Show Chrome Suzuki Boulveard C50 Highway Bars are a great chrome part option. These bars only extend as far as the pegs on your bike and mount into the existing holes in your frame, so they’re a snap to install. Giving you a place to prop up your legs on long rides and offering protection to your tins if you go down, these highway bars look cool too.

These are only a few of the hundreds of chrome accessories we have available for your favorite toy. So check out our website and start making your Suzuki Boulevard C50 your true dream bike.

Ladies it’s here…a cute, low-profile waterproof boot that’s comfy too. The Joe Rocket Trixie Womens Boots are constructed of a premium black leather with double stitching in key stress areas, so you can ride forever in them.

The front has an articulated flexible area so your ankle is comfortable while in riding position and the toes are reinforced for all that shifting you will do. Both the heels and the toe boxes of these leather boots have internal reinforcements, as well as a comfy removable insole and a non-slip tread will give you secure footing. To keep your feet nice and dry, there is a DryTech waterproof/breathable membrane, a sturdy velcro storm flap over the zipper, plus a gusset, which also makes the Joe Rocket Trixie Womens Boots easy to slip on/off.

To top off these fashionable riding boots is some very cool laser etched art detail along the back and the front outside toe area, plus a pale pink liner gives you a slight girly touch. Several of us girls tried these Joe Rocket boots on and they do run big. They only come in full sizes, so I suggest that if you are in a half sized shoe normally, to go down in the size (ie: you wear a 7.5, order a 7). If you have a wider foot, go up and if you have a narrower foot, go down. Hopefully that will help with your ordering, but remember if you do get the wrong size, we have no-restocking fees and a great return/exchange policy, so we’ll get you the correct fit! Check out the below video for an in-depth look at these cute boots.
