Saddlebag or no?

Post image
12 Upvotes

Deciding whether I should add saddlebags (and a crashbar) or just keeping the build like this. I can see either one working, might be a little too busy with the sissy bar already in place, but if I had saddlebags I wouldn't need the ugly tactical pouch I currently have on the sissy bar. Lmk what y'all think.

I like very much, they don't have this one in Kazakhstan

Has anyone relocated the ignition switch on their Bolt? I did some quick goggling, and didn't immediately see anything that appeared ready made to bolt on and go. Any experience, advice, or criticism (within reason) are welcome.

Handlebar vibrations

Post image
21 Upvotes

Hey guys, i got my bolt few months back and i tested it for the wobble at around 60-70 km/h, it was there but didnt bother me in any way so i decided to let it be, my bolt is completely stock, since i bought it i did around 2500 kilometers on it , yesterday on my way home i noticed that i started to get strong vibrations in my handlebars and it is most noticeable aroun 75+kmh and then around 90 kmh when going to 5th gear it is at its maximum , i went trough a little uneven road that day and i hit a little bumo on the road in higher speed but it didnt feel that bad maybe that caused the issue , do you think this might be an issue with the ball bearings in the neck ? or what should i go for searching the issue or has anyone experienced this, thanks for answers

UPDATE: Tried pressing in clutch at 90kmh and no vibrations in handlebars at all , engine related problem ?

anyone running the DL-04B can confirm what error its trying to show me? I just got done from a week’s worth of riding and this showed up today. Blinking error and Trip 0 started counting down, its now -6km

bike feels fine, no funny sounds or major issues felt lately.

Scootmods 8.5in FWD foot controls

Fairly simple install. Was a bit surprised that the button head bolts that secures the foot control to the support bar was only a 7/16 Allen (drive size, not fastener size and not metric). Threw on a washer for each just for extra support. The welds weren't the cleanest (lots of splatter and slag with a few corners cut for sure). Here's to hoping they last a long time.

Baron H Bar Install

2 Upvotes

I've seen countless posts and comments about the Baron H Bars and how you can use the factory cables with them. But literally no one has explained the process. Do I just need to remove that front "guide bracket" for the cables and it frees them up enough to clear everything? The front brake has plenty of slack on it so I'm not sweating that one.

Started down this path. These pieces are a little difficult to find (some easier than others). Curious if anyone else has done this as well.

R Spec purchase questions

2 Upvotes

Whats up yall. So I am very very interested in picking up a new 2025 R Spec model. Ive been watching video after video about it and it seems like a sweet ride for the price. Really the only question thats been on my mind and thats mentioned about the bike (maybe more so the older models) is the death wobble. To the '25 model owners, does it still exist? Whats the solution? The only event that ive had a death wobble on was on a turn that had a slick layer of mud on it that caused me to low side my bike and dump it at like 40 mph. Now that was a me error along with the road being crap. That was also on a rebel 1100. I don't do much interstate riding, just city riding with some back roads here and there. Id love to hear yalls opinions and experiences. Thanks.

Got a fairing off eBay thinking it would be a terrible experience and it turned out to be the opposite. Install was a little tough. Had to bend the bracket a little to get the fairing installed but it turned out great I think.

Hey everyone, I dropped my bolt a couple weeks back and after getting her back to where she need to be I noticed the hand bars shake a lot more then they used to now around 35 and I feel like the bars got a bit bent? Any tips for straightening it out? The forks are fine and it was a low speed crash so I’m not sure how they got so out of whack.

Does anyone know where I could source a file control valve for a 2014 Yamaha bolt r spec without purchasing a whole new throttle body?

Flasher Relay

2 Upvotes

I saw someone on here that put in an aftermarket flasher relay for LEDs. From the research I've done, it looks like you have to remove the 5 pin flasher (which also handles the auto-cancel) and then use space connectors to connect the aftermarket relay to the 5 pin connector. I've figured out which pins to connect to, but the person I saw looked like they didn't replace the entire relay module.

What has everyone done for LEDs? It'd be nice to keep the auto-cancel if possible but it's not a must. I've already gotten the led relay, just seeing if that's truly the way forward or if I'm missing something.

Couple passes tonight ran a 9.217 on a no prep track, managed to take my buddy’s MT07 by a length or so . Struggled to get the power to the ground off the line think she’d run a little quicker on a prepped track .
