doobie's ride .......... 2008 Suzuki C800

Fabulous looking ride there doobie
Those Raask's look bloody fantastic, I bet they make your ear's bleed or at least the poor sod behind you
I strip my bike back every now and then and ride it as a solo, one of the good things about the C800 is that you can have the standard cruiser or go to more of a bobber/hardtail look!
Looking great.

Love your solo look. I know someone with Raasks - loudest I've heard for an 800. What's that cover you have on the rear fender?

Love the look & I suppose because you still have the rear pegs on you could always stick a pillion on the back if you really had to

Bike looks great & I would love to hear those pipes, they look fabulous

Looks good with the fender bib to is it the Mustang Bib

i'll have to dig out a photo with pillion seat and sissy bar (for my daughter)...bet you'll never guess how much i paid for them pipes?

Hmmmm now let me think

The suspense is killing me

TELL US, TELL US, TELL US, TELL US, TELL USSSSSSS!!!!







I can't cope, you have to tell us NOW, AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Is there a prize for guessing the right amount.

l ah go on then i better put you out of suspenders.....£70 yep £70 ebay's a wounderful place

Nice looking ride,you certainly got a bargain with the pipes.

trip spain

£70 you jammie sod
Trip on the bike to spain, again you jamie sod

there was also a little trip up over the pyrenees....france to spain what a ride that was

You must have my fair share of the cash as well as your own, I can't afford a trip to the next bloody villiage.

Nice bike buddy, fancy doing a bit of touring myself at some point but my riding mates ride adventure bikes / sports tourers so its not really practical me going along with 'em as I always feel I'm holding them back coz I won't tear the arse out of my bike to keep up with 'em.......... were you all on mid sized cruisers then ?

two years saving for that was going on a zeypher originally but me bike came as an offer i could not refuse six months old 3500 beer tokens. 3 of us went 1 on a m800 and the other on a victory 8 ball no main roads all secondary roads very chilled ride. will write up the trip soon and post it :bike4:

Cool will look forward to that!

well here's the raask's
..if that dont work try this link...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HN1IpP16rA...

how low can you go

Looking good doobie
you say you had the lowering links made for you, how much lower is she?

lowered by a inch and half

I bet thats made a hell of a difference on cornering, reducing available lean angle.
It's hard to believe that some guys actually go to a 3" lower, they must only ride in bloody straight lines

its actually not that bad once youve found out how far you can lean over, you then adjust your riding style... got some photos of my mates m800 with the rear end kit fitted from delta customs

Wow that looks bloody fantastic

seat, fender and all the bits and bobs and sprayed just over a grand

Both bikes look neat,does the number plate and fixing come with the kit?,on the m800.

Thats a clean/classic looking bike

alfie92/superdane, it is a side plate and was a purchase off ebay, thanks for the compliment

Nice to see it done over here, i take it he didnt take the wheel widening option? is he still running standard tyre? And when is it being lowered??? As im itching to see how low it goes

Im after this look but i dont think it can be done without doing a hardtail job on it.

all standard on back end, lowered the same as mine

That soooooo nice

They are both nice but the one with the green wheels is simply fantastic

They other one would look better if the rear fender was lower

So true dude but the only was to get it like that is to take out the rear shock and put a solid bar in there,

I see myself as style first but everyone tells me i will regret it.

Yeah I reckon they could be right, you wouldn't want to ride it far,,,,,,,,, but on the short rides that you did do, wouldn't you be on a buzz

I know yeah, What i have figured out from this thread and the pics posted is i Defo WONT buy that fender unless its being hardtailed.
