V-Twin Vibes: YAMAHA BOLT Custom

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA BOLT" custom by Webike community user "Shinchan". While searching for a bike for relaxed rides, the simple yet sporty BOLT stood out and quickly became the owner's choice. The bike’s powerful V-twin engine delivers a satisfying deep rumble, and its smooth high-revving nature makes highway rides enjoyable. Initially, a Neofactory pipe handlebar was added to give it more of a custom touch. Later, in pursuit of a chopper style, the handlebar was swapped for one from CLASSIC FACTORY. Previously, the lower handlebar height lead to slight back pain on longer rides, but with the new 2-inch rise, that back pain has eased, the line of sight is higher, and the ride feels much more comfortable overall.

The owner has tried various mirrors, finally settling on Yamaha’s round blue mirrors, which not only fit the bike’s look but also reduce glare in bright daylight and soften the headlights of cars at night. The KIJIMA Nostalgic Grips, with their barrel shape that suits cruisers and classic bikes, provide a comfortable grip thanks to the slight bulge in the center.

Around the engine, KIJIMA Dress Up Covers add a sense of luxury. Their design perfectly complements the V-twin engine’s fins, enhancing the bike’s overall aesthetic. The stock pegs weren’t particularly appealing, so both the front and rear pegs were replaced with those from HURRICANE. According to the owner, although originally designed for the DragStar, these pegs fit the BOLT well and offer a pleasing quality and appearance.
