- The long awaited update to the original walkaround video of my 2014 Yamaha Bolt.
The crappy speaker on the camera does not reflect the quality of the audio coming from the Polk Audio speakers.
Check out the original here: • Yamaha Bolt Walk Around - Авто та транспорт
Now that the weather is clear I took the Bolt out with the new audio setup on the highway to work today. Crystal clear at 80mph. I normally cruise between 68-75mph, and no issues so far with the clarity. very impressed.
Sick bike man that air intake and exhaust are just amazing
you are making this bike look hella sick man absolute hands down
Thanks so much!!! That means a lot...
Stay tuned. More changes to come this season.
Wow, this thing is a MONSTER! Hella good job with all the mods!
Thanks Jon. Such an easy platform to customize!
Dude this thing sold me on a bolt! I’m picking one up, thank you taxes!!!!
Wow, love the build. Never seen a bolt with sound system
Its custom. Works great. Riding at 40mph or 80mph
Nice bike man, congratulations
Looks awesome!
Awsome set up bro
Bike looks very nice
I ride and have bought
Several different makes of
Motor cycle. You ve done
An Awsome job on this
Especially in black color
It stands out/ cool bro
Looks good Pete and I'm sure you will do more 😂 those Avon cobra tyres and fantastic I have a pair on my xv950 "bolt" handle good in the wet too. Still haven't got the Koso for my bolt 😂 good work 👍👍
Thanks. There have been more mods since then, and a couple more in process. A new reveal video should be ready by mid-June
Beautiful bike buddy
Great bike mate
Sick Bolt man!
this thing looks so good
How hard was it to install the fairing? Stock light housing for the headlight to fit thru the fairing? Will the fairing work with stock handle bars?
Looks sweet Pete!
Ed, after seeing pics of your Bolt on the forum, I almost want to pull my videos down. Your Bolt is beautiful!! Hopefully you get a chance to post some vids and share it with more people.
Powersports Pete seeing this vids given me many ideas for future mods. Well presented! I’ll post some vids down the track when I get some time.
Ahm Rifai
@powersportspete What size are the hand guards the 3 " arms? TIA
Want to try to get all the MODS at purchase time. Have you gotten the bike tuned?
I am a fan of your build. Please share the link for the fairing mounting kit. Also, did you use the stock electrical cables and brake lines? I am going for the same clubstyle look. Thanks
Man I love this set up! Im upset no one asked about the led light bar, I'm having issues seeing at night and wondering if I should put one? Would u recommend one and if so where u buy yours? I've tried Amazon and can't find one
Which model is your memphis shades road warrior fairing for? They don't sell that fairing for a yamaha bolt
Sick 🤘🏼
Like it or hate it? honestly whats to hate about this bike?
Did you change the handle bars and if yes which ones did you get
Awesome!
Anyone able to find the bushing kit on SS Customs site?
These windshield fairings are really good, they reduced wind noise and vibration drastically. Idk why more Cruiser bikes don't come with such fairings as standard
On my dad's Harley the noise is so little thanks to the windshield and fairings you can even listen to music or fm radio on the bike
What kind of handlebars are those?
Mannn please where did you get those nice hand throttle grip from nice and slim ??
Where did you buy the risers and the fairing? Can you post the link in this comment?
I'm getting a new Bolt in the spring. I like them they way there are. No mods for me except passenger seat and pegs.
how much is your motorcycle?
Where did you buy Mustang seat?
I know it’s been a minute since you’ve been on here but if you could put a parts list with the links👌🏼 been having to Jerry rig everything on mine
link to the seat?
Where the shocks from?
Name brand of seat
Awsm looking bike. I'm putting risers on mine but I know and my hand controls, brakes and everything up top are going to need to be longer and was wondering what company did you go with and what size extensions did you go with for all your upper controls to leave clearance with those risers?
I got my throttle and clutch cables from Motion Pro, the brakeline is goodrich/galfer combo.
Beautiful bike I love mine as well. But how did you mount those speakers I'm wanting to do the same and what are you using to power it?
Thanks Jeremy. I got the speaker box from a company called Deviant Fabrications. The speakers are 300W Polk Audio Marine Speakers. The box is mounted to the handlebars using led light brackets that are made to mount light pods to atv's. It's powered and amplified by a 600w Boss Audio bluetooth amp that sits under the left side cover.
Duude, can we get a list of all mod pieces?!
Finally got my 12” tall bars on with a Road Warrior and a 13” windshield.
Pete, I remember you being tall BUT (bought my bolt from you and Doug in June 2020) how the hell do you see through that screen!?
This bike screams Badass!!! I mean it looks like something Jax would ride in SOA!! Im really thinking of selling my HD n gettin a Bolt (Never thought id say that) Nice bike man really nicely done!!! Cheers mate ride safe brother!!
How tall are those bars?
Great looking bike!...with the aftermarket exhaust and air intake, did you need to install a fuel controller?...thanks
Cobra FI2000 installed
where did you get the parts for the front end?? it looks awesome
Hey, sorry it took so long to reply. Which parts are you looking for? The fairing kit I got from SS Custom Cycles in New York. Google them and ask for Shane. Tell him Pete in Delaware recommended you. The riser bushing kit, forward controls and intake are also available from him. www.sscustomcycle.com
Lovin it!!!!!
Thanks Andre! I just saw your setup with the Pro Taper AND the shorty clutch......holy hell that's awesome!!!
What headlight mount do you have and what did you use to align the headlight in the fairing
I got it from a company called torque mfg.
I like it. Great !!!
Such a clean bike! I was wondering what kind of handguards those are? Thank you!
Thanks! I got the handguards from Great Bike Gear. You can also get some pretty cool ones from sscustomcycle.com
Thank you so much for getting back to me! I have a second question, what size did you get the handguards? I just ordered the 2 1/2-3 ones. Will those be okay?
I really need help on how to install a Harley fairing ss customs only has the gauntlet. Just ordered forward controls from them
I have videos showing how to install a hd quarter fairing. just check my other videos
Sweet new add on’s bro!With those risers, are you getting a lot of vibration in your ride? The bars I’m looking at getting bypass the stock risers. Also, did you get new cables or cable extenders?
No vibration. The risers are basically mounted directly to the top triple tree. The throttle cables and clutch cables were both extended. The throttle cables were extended 12", but I did that a while ago. The clutch cable i had was extended 8", but this one is extended 12". The throttle cables are from Motion Pro a few years ago. The 12"+ clutch cable was ordered from Barnett. All work flawlessly.
Powersports Pete perfect! Thanks for the info. I’ll have to do an updated video with my changes coming soon 🤘🏼
I'm looking forward to it. I'm sure it will be as informative as it is entertaining!!
U mentioned that u adjust both the preload n damping to the highest setting. Did u mean that the preload adjusting sleeves were at the highest point n the rebound all the way out in the anti clockwise direction? If so, won't it bottom out frequently? I just installed those shocks n set it both at mid range, i weigh 135lbs.
I have the shocks set to the hardest settings. I'm 220 lbs.
What is the point of the fork brace (other than to "brace" 😁)??
The brace acts as a brace to brace.
how did you remove the yamaha logo from the tank ?
Mine never had a logo
did you have to extend the cables when adding the riser or were you able to get away with the stock cables.
All cables were extended. The rise in this video is 14", I now have 16". I think the cables were extended 8" or 10" - i honestly don't remember. Sorry
Hey! Great build! Where did you get those hand guards from? Do you have a link?
Great Bike Gear
@@powersportspete4270 thanks! great build!
Hey, where did you get those mounts for the fairing? i can't find the right ones
I got the entire set up from SS Custom Cycles. Call and ask for Shane and tell him Pete sent you. Not sure if he still has any available but it never hurts to call him.
what are the handlebars you got there i need them for mine too
Those are the stock bars. I'm using 12" Biltwell Murdock Risers and SS Custom Cycles 3.5" Riser Kit.
Dude so sick
Thanks! I love this bike
How hard was it to install the road warrior?
where did you get those saddlebag brackets? or what brand?
Great Bike Gear
I’m jealous of all the custom stuff man! Looks awesome. I’m looking at torque mfg for the headlight bracket but I can’t find any info or pricing on it. Do you happen to have a link on where to buy?
Thanks! The best advice i can give you in regards torque mfg is to try to contact a company called British Customs in California. They were the parent co of torque. You can also try SS Custom Cycles in NY. Ask for Shane, tell him Pete sent you. He has something similar that would fit.
Powersports Pete awesome! Thank you so much man
Could you explain more on how you relocated the front turn signals? Did you by an extended wire harness or did you rewire it yourself? Nice bike BTW.
Just extended the wires. There is no extended harness available.
@@powersportspete4270 ok thanks bro
Not hating I’m just interested to know. Why not just get a dyna if you are going for this style? Have you rode a dyna? What do you like about the bolt over the dyna?
No problem. I manage a multiline metric motorcycle dealership and got an unbelievable deal on my new Bolt back in 2013. It's paid for. It's far more reliable than any bike HD has ever or will ever produce. I was once of the first to own the Bolt and do most of the mods. I absolutely love this bike to death. Not saying I wouldn't like to own a Dyna ( killed off by HD, so would be stuck with a used one..not really for me), but for now and the foreseeable future I can see no reason to get rid of my Bolt (which looks even different now) and start all over again with a used Dyna or FXR. Yes I've ridden Dynas and FXR's.
Looks great, does that koso meter have a fuel gauge?
No fuel gauge. You can program the light to come on for low fuel though.
Hey Pete, do you still own this Bolt? Any update? Still enjoying the bike? Thanks man. Looks good.
Still riding almost every day. Still love it to death. Will try to post and update video soon.
Possibly my next bike. mt 07 or mt 09 are a consideration also. That's the speedo I want to get. I can't stand the stock speedo! Can I ask you how well the new speedo performs? is it accurate? Thank you.
The new speedo is very accurate. All you have to do is make and adjustment to the TIRE % section during setup (setup is very easy) and I verified my mph using GPS at multiple points on a 17 mile commute varying between city and highway riding.
Yeah I'm definitely going to get that at purchase.
Just got my 2014 bolt and I want that Koso speedo as my first mod. That quarter fairing well be number 2. I'm just glad the previous owner used up the terrible stock Bridgestone tires. Love your mods!
Hey Pete, I am in the process of ordering these handshields from greatbike gear. If you don't mind me asking what is the length of the arms attached to your shields?
I don't remember and my bike is at home 100 miles away. I can measure and let you know tomorrow. pclarkin@powersportseast.com - shoot me an email
@@powersportspete4270 Thanks again for your help Pete! The reason I asked is because I am currently emailing Bob and he's giving me a few arm option lengths.
What hand guards again?
I got them from Great Bike Gear
What model exhaust do you user?
Vance and Hines Competition Exhaust.
I missed what the gauge is
KOSO Meter - its the TNT-B
Check out www.sscustomcycle.com for the best pricing on this unit. Available with silver or black ring.
Nice I like it!
Where’d you get the 6 inch LED light bar?
How did you mount it?
I have been trying to find one for my bolt but cant seem to locate anything that will mount to the bike properly
The light from Walmart. The "L" brackets and hardware from lowes. The connector to the accessory plug in the headlight from a mechanic in my shop that he saved from another wiring harness,
@@powersportspete4270 Did you drill holes into the triple tree to mount the light?
@@Highzenplug The holes for the headlight bracket go all the way through the triple tree. Just use them.
I know this video is old. But I'm having a hell of a time finding a fairing mounting kit that will work with my bolt. I know that is a long shot.. but... what fairing mounting kit did you use???
sscustom cycle
@@powersportspete4270 thank u for your response.. really appreciate it. But literally after I wrote the comment I saw the video how u did it lol
What’s the handlebar you have on?
In this video those are the stock bars
60mph = 3000 rpm...yamaha bolt and virago 750...
Did you notice any loss of torque when you put that exhaust on?
no
Amazinggg
Do you have a Instagram? I would like to ask some questions about the bike.
Dalton Wade @PeteClarkin
What size is the rear tire?
180
How tall is the windshield
Road Warrior Fairing w/ 13" windshield
where did you get that light bar that's under your fairing?
and the side covers? i can't find any type of these anywhere
@@DRich024 The LED bar from walmart, The side covers you can get order from your yamaha dealer.
I like your Bolt bro! What the risers ?
Thanks! Those are 12" Biltwell Murdock Risers. You'll need to 3.5" riser bushing kit from SS Custom Cycles in order to make the risers work.
@@powersportspete4270 thank you
Risers mounting kit for YAMAHA right?
here is the link from the website
sscustomcycle.com/product/3-5-inch-center-hard-riser-bushing-kit/
Is anyone ever REALLY done with mods...? :)
I've been done for 5 years!!!!
Depends on how practical the budget is, brother.
I want it
Nice
Sweet
Dude_ 08/09/20_ owned a few in past_seeing your build, I got more bike to do_ love your setup_ by the way, I'm a child of God_Kentuckian, 70 yrs_ owned 4 in the (2-650twins-650four-1100six_keep riding_ ☮️
One of the coolest bolts I’ve seen but why not just buy a dyna?🤷🏼♂️
I manage a Yamaha Honda Kawasaki Suzuki dealership and prefer Yamaha over Harley. I’ve been in this business and have been riding too long and seen too many Harley s repaired in my shop to buy one.
Powersports Pete Fair enough 🤷🏼♂️ lol
shit........ looks like my dyna! nice!
Ape hangers 12 inch are better looking to me,than the T bars
I want this bike 👌
Make an offer.
@@powersportspete4270 is this bike for sale?
@@la1212yRC51 Everything is for sale for the right price.
@@powersportspete4270 how much do you want for it?
