That is definitly in my top 3 for best looking bike ever. Great taste and style for customizing. Not to extravegant but yet very unique. Great job and be proud of one amazing ride!!
I have an ‘07 M109R (M1800 Intruder over here) in the classic black and chrome. Awesome, probably the only bike I’ll ever need, so I’ll never sell it, and this gives me some great ideas for.a facelift.
I think that's the best looking M109R I ever seen! Perfect amount of chrome and most importantly done right! I really hope that one day I'm gonna buy one like that!
To get the 300 rear tire to fit properly and safely, you will need the Custome swing arm and a 10" rear wheel. You can purchase both items at Directlineparts.com.
OMG. I am loving the bike...You got sick style with the bike. Everything enhances, nothing takes away. Sometimes people add just to add, but this might be the cleanest bike of my dreams ever. Outstanding homeboy.
Those "stock look" chromed wheels look better than any other custom wheels available,I've already posted a comment buddy, but just bought my second 109 and absolutely love yours. Again,great job and great taste in building YOUR bike.
That is a beautiful bike bro. Great Job on it. What year is it? I want to build one just like it. Can you help me with a list of after market parts and dealers please?
Thank you for the compliment. It’s a 2006. First year Suzuki came out with this bike. 90% of the parts I got from www.directlineparts.con. Some from Kuryakan and the rest were just custome made. Good luck with your build. Hope it comes out just the way you want. These bikes are a lot of fun and great attention getters. 👍🏽😎
@plonker00765 Thank you forthe compliment brother. I too, come from sport bikes and this is my first cruiser. It was kinda tuff getting used to the clunking sound ofthe gear box for me too, but after 4 years, I'm good with it now. The bike is very comfortable with the bars pulled back 2". Your more in a laid back position. Take care and thanks!
@11Armen112 Hi my friend. The bike is a little more tricky to ride when your turning, but you'll get use to it right away. Unless you like to ride on roads that have a lot of turns. Then you will notice that you will have to push and pull more on the handlebars to get the bike to lean over more. This type of setup with these tires is more for someone who likes the look, cruise and ride on straight roads most o the time. If this is you, then, you'll love it. I hope this helps you out.
G'day BlackDiamond. As you know from the thread on the M109R forum, we are currently working on creating trailer towing hitches of 2 different widths for the M109R. One will be for those running up to the 260 or 250 tyre width....and a second, wider one to fit those running the 300 rear, like yourself.
That's funny bro, I almost bought the warrior myself before the 109 came out. I was also thinking about the HD Vrod. The sales man said, if you wait a few more months, Suzuki is coming out with an awesome cruiser. So I waited and boy was it worth it...
very tasty,i had one of these but went back to a sports bike,three things i hated about my 109 were the gearbox,changing gears was tractor like,the drag bars,always leaning forward slightly too much,lastly ,the headlight cowling,they look much better with a normal chromed headlight,i must say your bike looks very cool,the changes you have made alter the bike quite dramatically,in a good way,a nice headlight would almost make me jealous of your bike,love the tyres.
The performance will change quite a bit, especially when you make those slow turns. You will find yourself having to lean into it just a bit more otherwise the bike will feel like it just wants to go straight.
Just wondering if, once we have them finished, you would do us the service of receiving one and ensuring that it fits and clears everything properly on your bike. * You are one of the only guys around I know running the 300 rear, who has shown any interest, or given us any feedback about the new M109R Custom trailer we are in the process of creating. Anyway BlackDiamond, I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks, David (Brisbane, Australia)
I'm getting mine as soon as the 2012 come out will be done saving for a m109R august, 300 damn player!! Imma do that too that's Hella sick! Not too flashy colorwise love your bike.
Thanks for the compliment buddy. A 300 tire does need some work. You need to buy a 10" rim, buy a aftermarket swingarm and the inner rear fender will need some work so the tire won't rub. A 280 fits perfect. All you need is a 10" rim and your good to go.. Good luck with your decision.. Frank..
I had the 280 w/ the 10" rim before I went to the 300 and it does look a bit bigger I person, but it will come at a hefty little price. I used to pull up at places where many bikes gathered and It was nice to be able to tell them, yeah, that's a 300. Lol.. Glad you liked the bike bro. :)
I have no idea. I just enjoy the ride. If your asking a comparison to being stock, it did feel slightly heavier, but then again it could be cause of the 300 tire in the rear that makes it a little more tricky to turn and get off the side stand.
I almost bought a 109...I'm about 99.9% sure it's my next bike. I'm currently torn between that and a Ducati Streetfighter. When I rode the R I fell in love...so much power. I ride a Yamaha Warrior now, and it's a great bike, but there will always be room in my garage for an R.... Great job on the bike man, looks really great.
Very nice! Did you have your bike polished or did you do it yourself? The cleanest I've seen. If you do it yourself... what type of polish do you use? By hand?
just wondering how much doe you got tied up in this really nice toy?, wow! great job on making it yours! Im checking out ppl`' m109 s thinking of getting one or a vtx1800 , how well/ far does that head light shine?
@RONB269 Thanks bro! Google directlineparts, you will find it there. You will need the 10" rim and the swingarm. You will also need to do some inner rear fender work to get that 300 tire to fit. Good luck.
@prStarbiker650x thanks for the compliment bro. I like all black too. I didn't know which way to go when I first started modding this bike, but I ended up buying one chrome piece then onother and I ended up with this. Lol.. Glad you liked it. :)
Thanks for the compliment bro! I started the same way back in 06 when I got the bike. I'm still not done, but really, I don't think we will never be done.. Lol.. Something new is always catching our attention and we will keep adding to this bad boy.. :) Good luck with your bike. Hope you get it where you want it. These bike really, don't take much to to look awesome with very little mods..
Well the swingarm will run u around $1,000-$1,300 depending on if you want chrome or black. Then you will need to buy a 10" rim and that can run you between $1,500 to $1,800 depending on the wheel and maker. Then treres the tire 300 tire that can run you around $250- $325 and last but not least is the instal. I don't remember how much my Machanic charged me to instal it cause it was 4 years ago. Best advice I say would be to just shop around. Good luck with it bro and be ready to get a hell
Your Suzi is nicely done, decent not overloaded, like others you see here on youTube, they spend more money and it looks horror full. One question the 300 tire fits on the OM rims. It Will be nice when you give some links where you get all this stuff, I checked on the internet, but these things are not useful and nice.
Thank you for the compliment buddy. Yeah, I was trying to keep the mods on this bike mild, not to overly done up. I tried to keep it looking as original as possible with just a few upgrades that I thought would make this bike look even better to me. As for the 300 tire on a stock Raheem, it won’t fit. I believe the widest you can go is a 280 tire on that stock wheel. Most of my parts I got them from a place called, Directlineparts.com. They have a lot of aftermarket parts that you will like and that will drain your pocket book fast. Lol. Hope this helps. Have fun on your mods. 👍🏽😊
I hear ya...I really, really love those V-Rods...they are sweet. I'm a huge HD fan, just can't see spending the cash. I'm just not that worried about the brand of bike I ride... I love my Warrior, it's a ton of fun and in my eyes it looks great, but the R was the first bike I ever really lusted over. Someday!!
Hey how you doing I got a M109R and I was trying to see where did you get your gas cap cover from if you don't mind I definitely like your or 109 is tricked out
god bless your bike all you need a side number plate, scorpion tips exuast , flame mirrors , rear light with built in signal lights ,hyper charger kit, and air ride.
Mean bike bro!,I took one for a ride from a dealer and was impressed with its power and acceleration!(Still Love Harleys but would like to have one for a muscle cruiser!) Chur!
@tbursee Thanks bro!! I've seen a M109R like the one your going to customize. I think the rear fender is called the Sumo rear fender. That looks real nice with a 280 or 300 rear tire set up. Good luck with it and post of video when your done.
SICK ride. The M109 IMO is the baddest muscle cruiser on the road. One question...why no aftermarket exhaust? California issues? Good job man, sweet looking ride.
This thing is completely GORGEOUS. How do you like the ride? The motorcycle I have right now is very much a cruiser - Comfortable, stable at speed, and VERY torque-y. How does the M109R fare on long-distance trips, and does it have bat-shit insane torque like I'd expect from an 1800 V-Twin?
Same here bro.. I was like a little kid at the 2006 bike show sitting on the new M109R.. Lol... The Vrod is an Awesome bike too with great power, I just felt it was just to small for me, plus, the price tag was a little out of my bugget too... At the end, I think I made a great choice..
Hi, no probs. An aussie (see Outbackmojo's comments at the bottom of the page), like me too, is also interested where you got your parts from (websites etc). Thanks
Thanks! The wheels are pollished and I ordered them like that. They are custome cut replicator rims.. The are very different In size but have the same design as the stock ones..
Hey where did you get the kit for the wheel from ? im lokking for one of that kits to make a proyect my self, found youre video and it looks cool. hope i here from you abut were i can get the kit. thanks
Amalia Gonzalez villalpando hi, I got the tire kit from directline.com. In fact, I got most of the parts you see on my bike from there. Some parts were Custome made, but most were from there. Glad you liked the bike. Good luck busy.
that is a gorgeous bully man, i have a couple of those things on my 109 to and im looking for alot of motor parts for drag purposes. cant find shit but a turbo, but the 300 is lookin good, good job!
You front wheel needs to be 17” tall and 6 1/4” wide to fit perfectly under the front fender flush. You can probably do a 6” wide wheel and it will fit as well, it will just show more gap between the wheel and the fender.
@manwithvette Thanks for your kind words buddy. Hope you get your new 9 wher you want it and if my bike has helped you with any ideas, that's great!! Good luck with your mods and if you have any question I can help you with, feel free to ask bro!
Thanks bro. The tail light is the original light that the bike came with. It was just taken apart and smoked. Still lights up good and better than the aftermarket Clear Alturnitive light that's out there.
Hey wadenmoo, I got them from eBay about two years ago. They don't sell them anymore. I tried to find them for a friend too and couldn't find anymore. I only found the chrome ones.
Oh yeah, I bet it turns heads everywhere!! I've been a cruiser guy from the beginning, I have 2 of them now, that's the main reason I'm looking at the Ducati...switch it up to something less comfortable hehe.... Actually I think owning a Warrior and an M109r is against the law in North Carolina! : ) Good luck w/ the air suspension, that will really set that bike off....can't wait to see it when that's done.
Clee Hammer it changed the ride quite a bit, mostly when turning. Have to put a little more effort into it and lean more to get the bike to turn. Thanks for the compliment
@TEMPESTBRINGER thanks bro! I live in California. Not sure wher you live. I have a mechanic that did all my work. As for parts, Google directlineparts. You will find slot of goodies for this bike. Good luck and have fun moding her..
hi is it easy to drive this bike? i would like to make my bike like you, but my friend told me, it will be hard because your weels is too big, what do you think? maybe you show some video?
Really curious how much the overall price of all parts together it would be for the 300 tire kit on this bike.. I might be buying the bike and would love to do the same thing.. Thanks
Hey brother I’m doing 300 kit on mine got all the parts it still rubbs on my swing arm I got 2 peace swamp and running 10 inch rim with mitz and really don’t want yo put shims between drive shaft and rim any advice thanks
Hey brotha, congrats on your kit. Not sure what swing arm you bought, but I never had any rubbing issues with mine. I mean, mine barley cleared the swing arm too. You barely squeeze a dime on each side. Can’t really think of what you can do. If it’s barley rubbing, maybe you can file down a little on the swing arm where it’s rubbing, but not sure how thick your swing arm is. I wouldn’t want you to lose the strength on the swing arm. Did you get the same swing arm like mine? If you did, it should have fit perfectly barely clearing.
