I would think the pipes get too hot to have the bags sit on them

they must be a least 1 inch clearance between pipe and bags. i use willy and max bags jumbo slant bags and they fit fine. volusia/c50 and m50 are basically the same. also check out volusiariders.com
you can look at hundreds of pics of m50 c50 etc and look through the forums to see what bags everybody is running.

Yeah, do NOT sit bags on the exhaust pipes. You'll ruin the bags and the pipes very quickly. I would think that Suzuki makes bolt-on bags for the M50, but my experience with bolt-on bags is that they're too small to be of much help carrying things. Find some over\under seat bags that are about 12 inches long and 8 inches tall, with adjustment straps or holes in the middle. These bags will carry most anything, and won't look too big for your bike. With a little work, you can get them to fit under the seat.You'll need the saddlebag support brackets for them. Try your local shop or JC Whitney. Beware of buying saddlebags on line. Many times they don't look the same when they arrive. Try to keep the bags at least 2-3 inches away from your exhaust pipes.

> Can saddle bags sit on the exhaust pipes?
Not a good idea. You will scorch the bags (and their contents). The bags will burn through. Your exhaust pipes will be discolored by the bag residue.

No, exhaust pipes will burn the bags, check with a Suzuki dealer.you will also need supports for the bags.

from experience if your bags touch your pipes the bags will burn through if your bags are within a half inch of your pipes they will discolor and on long trips they will burn
