Info on Boulevard C90 w/ Lehman Conversion

[geputten]

Greetings all,
Does anyone out there own a Suzuki C90 Boulevard with the Lehman Jackal conversion? I'm looking at a few used ones (having owned a 2 wheeled C90 in the past) and have a few questions.

1. I recall the fuel tank being really undersized, having to gas up every 100 m or so. I can't imagine how frequently it'll have to fuel up on a trike.

2. Lehman being out of business since '15, I had serious problems getting parts for my wife's Kaw 900 Storm when she blew a wheel bearing. Ended up replacing the entire rear assembly with a DNA setup.

What did Lehman use as a rear axle assembly?

Enquiring minds really need to know!

Thanks in advance and ride safe!

Axles were mainly Ford Pinto, Grenada, Mustang and Ranger from the 70's and 80's.

We (our son) have a 2014 Suzuki Blvd - C90 Boss. This one is still a two wheeler. I might add that this is a great bike. Keep the gears down - if you try to run say 50 in 4th gear, you will be sluggish. This thing has a lot of power.

You mentioned you have to fill up at 100 miles. I might offer that something is wrong. In 2014, my son wanted to join me in Sturgis, so I got him this bike. I was riding a 2014 Ultra Limited.

We usually gassed up every 150 mile or so while on the highway. He still had plenty of room. He would average about 35 mpg whereas I would average about 40.

My current bike, 2021 Ultra got about 40 mpg as a 2 wheeler. When I added the CSC conversion, I went down to about 38 mpg. So, given this, I might imagine the Boss would got down to about 33 mpg. Still, with a 4.8-gal tank, you should get about 150 miles per tank.

Good luck

My brother had IIRC a 2008 C50T 2 wheeler and he had a similar complaint. He said the range just wasn't enough. A quick check of the specs and earlier models of the C90 did have smaller gas tanks, a 3.7 gal tank. So depending on the year of the Suzuki @geputten has and the hearing of his conversion, he could be close to normal.
