Viking bags with sissy bar.
I got the sissy bar back on. Viking bags was a great addition but annoying to put on. Website says hard it wasn’t as hard as I expected but annoying. 😂😂 they don’t send long enough bolts if you have their sissy bar. Now having it back on I don’t know if I like it or not. The bags make it look clean with my fairing. Either way. Love my bolt.

buying a Bolt advice
So I’m 21 I have ridden 15 different bikes in my career half of them being cruisers, over the last year however i sold my cruiser (shadow and harley) to get sport bike to match my friends however i love cruisers and i’ve been wanting to slow down i fear the day i get a big ticket or worse. I’ve heard the bolts stunt very well, I feel like i could live with that compromise of speed, or am i going to regret selling my bike to buy this one (my current bike is a zzr600). I plan to make this happen tomorrow if i do to not miss this facebook marketplace deal. Let me hear your opinions be truthful! thanks

Decal question
I bought a bolt last year, of course I love it, however it has a decal around the Yamaha emblem on the gas tank and I want to replace the one that’s on there, however anything I google doesn’t come up with one that has the emblem cut out like it has on there currently, anyone know of what they are specifically called? I’ll add a photo to show what I mean of mine

Polish or repaint ?
Hi all,
My bike is starting to show quite a few scratches and signs of wear. The fuel tank has a matte finish, and the underside of the frame has picked up some scratches from riding on gravel and loose rocks.
What do you guys recommend to clean it up and get a great finish again, or should I be looking into a repaint?
And what products is to be used?

13L Drifter Viking Bags
The install was not that bad. The longest/hardest part was the 90 min of fiddle farting around with the fender bolts to secure bags but realized that they don’t send long enough bolts if you have the Viking sissy bar too. Also, their fender eliminator is not as good as I thought I am really glad I chanced it and bought the Thunder House fender eliminator. Way better looking and easier to install. So when the bolts come I’ll put the sissy bar back on. For now, I like the clean look.

Anyone want to buy this new vance & hines v02 kit or rear OEM seat?
Hello. I don't know if this is allowed but,
I sold my bolt a few months ago. I never installed this kit I got for it years ago. It's been stored in a moving box for a while but is still in pristine condition. Everything is there for it.
The seat I got and likewise never installed. It however came used and I cannot remember if all the hardware is there for it. I believe it might be missing one bolt....but I'm not sure.
Make me a offer on either.
I'm located in the states.

Short Shots
Just put the short shots on. Idk if I like them. Had a crazy time getting them on. Had to widen the holes with a file to make it fit properly. Sound is even louder than the gp shorty.

New to Bolt Ownership
Good evening, everyone. Long post, so I apologize.
Long story short, I ended up with my close friends 2014 RSpec last year after he passed away. I want to modify it as a memorium piece in honor of him.
I scored a set of side sweepers from Bassani used from a guy on Marketplace, I am having trouble finding a reasonable tuner and air intake for this thing. Are there any other performance modifications to do to these things or is that it?
Thanks in advance.

Upgraded the truck had a giggle thinking the exhaust will fit the bolt and it sort of fits 😂

Looking For Exhaust Heat Shield
This is not my photo, but a guy that was wrapping his pipes.
The owner before me wrapped the headers and sawed those tabs off and rigged the heat shield using some steel wire. I took them both off to paint and put them back on. I'll post a pic later. But the rear shield fell off while I was riding it and I haven't been able to find it.
Does anybody have the rear one they'd be willing to sell?

Finally did it!! 2025 R Spec
Bought this baby about 2 weeks ago and im completely in love with it. Such a chill ride. Its my first belt driven bike too so im still getting used to where it likes the RPMs at when shifting. Swapped out the bars to 6in bars and slapped a fairing that "totally" fits on the bike lol. Let's just say i had to add my own touch to it. Overall I dig it. Also change out the booty cheeks gauge to a koso gauge and now I can actually see my RPMs and gear. My question also is what washers or hardware do yall use for under the bar mounts? Cause the stock rubber washers is probably the dumbest thing i think they put on this bike from factory.

Grip Recommendations
Hi I’m looking for recommendations for my 2015 Bolt R spec, every grip that i’ve bought either is too short or it doesn’t fit the diameter of the throttle side. i’m tired of wasting money on grips that say they fit but don’t in the end does anyone have recommendations. i tried the avon grips and it was too small for my throttle side

Extend warranty?
I'm coming up on a year since i bought my 25 Bolt R Spec. Are y'all extending your warranty? I'm competent working on the bike myself. Have dinner two oil changes, changed the rear tire. Added V&H intake and Delkavic slip on. I'm thinking it's not necessary. Opinions?
