How to Install a Vance and Hines Straight Shot for a C50
Vance & Hines manufactures aftermarket exhaust systems that retrofit onto motorcycles such as the Suzuki C50. The Suzuki C50 Volusia is a V-Twin land cruiser motorcycle designed with a dual exhaust that converges into one tail pipe. The Straight Shots maintain two tubes from the cylinder heads to the back of the motorcycle. This gives the Suzuki C50 a different look than the stock motorcycle.
