Powersports Pete I'm a new rider and I just bought my first bike. 2015 Yamaha bolt for 4400. I can't get off the fucking thing haha. If you dont mind me asking, how much in total did you spend on modifications.
Congrats on the purchase. Great deal on that Bolt you bought too! I really don't know what the mods would have cost me for a few reasons. 1) I manage at a dealership and get steep discounts on parts and labor. 2) I bartered for some of the parts. 3) Some of the parts were provided by vendors/sponsors. However, if you were to total the retail on those items, plus labor, it's somewhere in the $4000-$4500 range. I've owned the Bolt almost 5yrs (June 2013), so this transformation (which is ongoing) has taken place over a long period of time. And as new vendors/sponsors, or new parts are made available, I try to prioritize whats important to me vs. what my true cost is. I also spend time on www.yamahastarbolt.com forum. Tons of pics and useful information there. Good luck with whatever you decide to modify on your Bolt, and more importantly..have fun!
@@powersportspete4270 maybe at some point I'll send you a bolt and fund the mods as a combined channel project....hmmmm...now you've got my wheels spinning! Ha!
If I had to pay retail (i manage at a dealership, have vendor contacts, etc.), not counting labor, a conservative estimate would be about $3,000. Add in labor and your up to about $5,000. Seems crazy, but I've had the bike for 5 years, and have done a lot of mods over an extended period of time. Some parts are purchased for me, some are provided by vendors like Parts Unlimited, Tucker Rocky, Western Powersports, etc.)
I’m from Venice California and this a really nice “West Coast” style bike love all the mods you put in the bike. I personally wouldn’t change anything to this bike. I would like to see it with tre back rest.
Fantastic looking bike man I have a one in white same year alot of the mods you have done I'm on half doing but fantastic looking bike man hat off to you ride safe.
XPdriven thanks. It’s narrower than the stock seat and more comfortable too. Plus it looks like it belongs on the Bolt. I’d like to find an upholstery person that can gel the seat and and do a tuck and roll pattern on the insert.
Why they don't do dual front brakes and inverted forks, I'll never know. How easy is it to change plugs on these? I just have Sportsters and a couple sport bikes for reference, and I'm hating the sport bike chains and plug/filter placements.
So you did not installed that KOSO speedo. I wonder how it works because when I saw one video that guy who installed it on Yamaha bolt he had to write down total mileage from the old speedo and manually put numbers into KOSO, but when I saw guys installing this speedo to Harleys the total mileage automatically showed up on their new KOSO speedo. Is this has anything to do with computers and memory that Harleys probably have and the Yamaha bolt doesn't??
Thanks! It's actually been through some changes since I posted this video. Once I get a few more parts in and installed I'll do another walk around. Sub'd your channel too.
Powersports Pete sweet! I just picked up a Bolt and there’s a few mods I’m going to be making. Definitely throwing the turn signals down and may get the same quarter fairing.
Awesome! You're going to love that bike. Make sure your check out www.yamahastarbolt.com - thats the forum with more info and pics than a human can digest in 1 bathroom sitting. Then check out www.sscustomcycle.com and www.lowandmean.com for custom Bolt parts. If you have fitment or other ?'s shoot me an email pclarkin@powersportseast.com Lucky enough to be a Bolt owner for 5 years AND work at a dealership.
these are exactly the mods i want when i buy my 2014 bolt. I was thinking white or even the R spec matte grey, but this setup sealed the deal for me to get raven black. Awesome job, man. One question, have you had any issues with the Koso-TNTb meter speedo being off at all?
Thanks for the complement! I'm posting an update video today showing the changes over the past year. If you are interested, I have the Bars, Riser Extension, and Extended clutch cable available for sale. Oh, and the KOSO meter hasnt given me any issues. I dialed in the tire% for the mph using gps.
How well does your fairing setup manage wind? I'm having hella problems with buffeting. Tried both the OEM bullet cowl and various windshields. Also, did you have to do anything special to mount the fairing?
Thanks for the question. That particular fairing did a pretty good job keeping the wind off of my chest, and the laminar lip pushed it to just about eye level, but the air was clean and non-buffeting. I posted 3 videos on how to mount that fairing. Look at my channel and you'll be able to find them. I recently switched to a Road Warrior Fairing from Memphis Shades, but got the brackets from Shane at SS Custom Cycles. He makes custom quick release brackets for the Bolt for that fairing.
I would like to relocate my speedometer to the top of my T bars like you did however I believe the SS Custom relocation brackets have been discontinued. What are your thoughts to how I might proceed? Thank you in advance!
Kuryakyn has a 1inch P-clamp that you can use and its just as effective. Shoot me an email pclarkin@powersportseast.com and I'll take a pic of how i modified my stock bracket to work cleanly with the p-clamp.
It does not display the fuel level. The fuel graphic will blink when the fuel is low. There is a RED light that you can program for a few different things, like rpm redline, shift light, speed warning....I have mine set to go on when the fuel level is low.
Here’s my dilemma though. I feel like the Harley dudes think I’m a poser caus it looks like a clubbed out dyna. (I just wouldn’t afford to get a new street bob and do all of what I wanted and hadn’t ridden in 5 years). I did 8” rise, krator fairing, Vance & Hines pipes (half wrapped in a greyish wrap), forward controls from ss, and saddlemen step up seat, blacked out anything that wasn’t black. I just feel like I spent all this time and money making something look like something it’s not, when at first I was stoked caus I made it what I want, lower price, and better reliability. The Harley rider ego mildly ruined the bike for me
Absolutely LOVE your build. The front fairing and hand guards suit the bike so well. I want that front fairing so bad. Do you have a link to where you got it if you don’t mind me asking?
Offdre Thanks bro. That fairing is a HD quarter fairing. I added the Laminar Lip, but it’s heavy duty 3m Velcro tabs holding it on so I can remove it within seconds. The fairing is mounted using drag specialties 41mm turn signal relocation brackets and some bolts and nuts from Lowe’s. I’m interested in selling this fairing and mounting brackets to change to the Memphis shades road warrior fairing. Let me know if you are interested and we can work out a fair price.
Thanks man. I got lucky with those side covers. I had a customer trading his vstar950 for a cb1100 and he had them installed on his vstar. I asked what he planned on doing with them, and he said he was going to put them on ebay. I asked him how much cash he would take for them....$50 for all three covers. Deal of the century bro. Yamaha doesn't make them anymore and they have no plans to make them again.
Man I️ wish I could live in SoCal. But, I’m on the east coast in Delaware. I️ manage at a motorcycle dealership so I️ ride more than I️ drive, except winter and late fall. Except today, I️ rode because it was 65.
The quarter fairing comes with clear windscreens, and I got the tinted ones later. i think the lexan is tinted, so it cant be peeled. On the current road warrior fairing on my Bolt (see my most recent video) memphis shades doesnt offer a tinted windshield above 11", so i bought the 13" and plastidipped the inside of it. so yes, that can be peeled off if i ever wanted to go clear again.
Hi Pete on the Koso guage dose it do gear possition well , dose it display a fuel guage or just a low fuel light , Im really thinking about getting one any info would be awsome man.
It does show gear position. It works well. It does not have a fuel gauge, it has a low fuel indicator that looks like a fuel gauge...it blinks when running low. There is a RED light that you can program as a shift light, speed limit light, as well as other things. I programmed mine to light up as a low fuel indicator.
@@powersportspete4270 awsome ok I think you have sealed the deal for me as far as getting one but finding it in black is proving difficult I'm from the UK and stock seem low and I don't want to pay import charges won't be worth it. Thanks for your time Pete any updates on the bolt iv done quit a bit to mine from stock 👍
Happy to help! I've done quite a few changes to mine since i posted this video. I plan on doing another update in the coming weeks. I manage a powersports dealership in the US, but for Bolt Specific parts, I shop exclusively at SS Custom Cycles in New York USA. www.sscustomcycles.com
How well does the speedometer read? I put mine on and I'm not geeing anywhere close to the right speed. I did the math and it says it should be 105% but that isn't giving me the right speed. What is yours set at?
Does it read GPS or from the ECU like stock? Is there a delay in the reading? I watched one video with that tach driving and it seemed a bit over the place and “wrong”.
Totally plug and play. No splicing wires. It's as simple as can be. It does require a simple set up and programming. I am in NO WAY technically inclined, but it really is simple to get it set perfectly.
People probably ask wat bike dat is all da time . Real head tuner. Just subbed n liked hope da same in return I deff want to look more into this bike there’s a dealer by me dat has 2015 leftovers for 5k plus fees
@@powersportspete4270 "Honda Ruckus"LoL, anyway just kidding that's a sick ass bike & I don't care if it's Yamaha,Honda,Kawasaki,Suzuki they're all great nowadays, especially those mentioned brands..
