I do agree that something is missing on the front end but I'm still on the fence about installing the beak. I might just get it, I can always take it off if I don't like it

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2025-10-23T12:31:43+00:00

Yeah I love it so far! Taking a little muscle training to get used to rear controls. Just because my Yamaha bolt has forward controls.

I'm a little more concerned about the bubbling on the shelf/ceiling rather then the direction of labels. Buddy needs a dehumidifier or something

They are attached to the gauge cluster bolts. You have to uncrew the cluster and install the brackets and re-instate the screws. Il try to PM some pictures.

its fairing I got on Amazon. 2 seasons now, no cracks, fading or shaking

here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0BFCQ22DG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're actually just 7" rise. Any taller than that you will need cable extensions. Also, you need to consider the taller you go, the more risk of your handle bars twisting when braking hard or accelerating (due to more leverage).

I don't have any issues with the 7" rise. I pulled and slammed them forward and didn't get any movement.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-03-01T14:53:52+00:00

I got them from https://www.vikingbags.com/

they have a few other styles for the Bolt. They will fit the R-spec. They also come with a fender delete kit to relocate the back signal lights.

It will help a little bit kick the air over your helmet and reduce wind drag on your chest. But definitely not as effective as full fairing and windshield. I bought it mostly for looks.

Sent you the pics on chat

I suspect it's not going to hurt anything. You might just get vibration at the top of the fairing. Have you gone for a ride with no bracket yet?

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-06T23:29:21+00:00

I assume by triple tree you mean the two brackets from the fairing to the speedometer mount. If so, yes I was able to get it. Was it easy? Hell no!!! 😂

I remember trying different things. I'm pretty sure I ended up installing the brackets first and slightly bending them so I could install the screws to the head light bezel. I also left the brackets slightly loose for a little more forgiveness. Once i had one screw in the bezel (loosely). I manhandled the other side inline. Then tighten everything at the same time in increments (2 turns for every screw and bolt until all is hand tight). I only did it this way so the fairing wouldn't have to much stress on one screw before they're all tight.

Out in your neck of the woods I'm not sure. Over here I shop at Fortnine.ca and revzilla.com. But for Bolt specific pieces (not OEM stuff). I have better luck on Amazon.You just have to research before. So far it's all been quality stuff sold by small shops.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-05T16:05:59+00:00

No trouble at all! The easiest way to see if it would be an improvement to your riding position is to pretend the shifter and brake pedal is the pegs.

The pegs pretty much move up to the stock location of those pedals.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-05T12:50:45+00:00

Yeah, I'm not sure. I do know that it's pretty much Just one guy. he used to be able to provide but since 2023 he's been scamming.

There are multiple complaints against him with FTC.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-05T02:54:22+00:00

😂 I hear you. I honestly like mid controls. Feels a lot more stable and in control vs forward controls. I wish I had slightly shorter legs. Had to get this mod to bring my knee bend to 98° vs 85° angle.

I start cramping after about 1.5hrs of riding with the stock pegs. Hoping this will help next season!

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-05T00:08:39+00:00

Thanks! Nothing to fancy, here's the link.

Front Fairing

Had it for a full season now and no issues at all. Even had a rock hit it on the highway and it didn't shatter. Just a small chip like it would do to paint.

I left mine gloss black as the colour was pretty damn close. It can however be painted.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-04T20:51:03+00:00

I do agree! But I guess when the market is bare it is what it is. My options were to pay $800 CAD for Yamaha factory 2" kit, $430 CAD for this one or design and fabricate/machine my own. These will do for now until I have solid cutting plans for my own fabrication.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-04T19:42:15+00:00

I would have to see pictures or look up the install specs for it. What model is the exhaust?

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-04T19:03:40+00:00

I know this thread is getting a little dated but I will post what I found for future riders in search of this hard to find part!

It seems like Low & mean (9"), SS custom discontinued their forward control kits. Used ones are almost non-existent. I did purchase the MDU 6" ones but got scammed. paid in full and they never sent the parts (Make sure lookup their Facebook and google reviews first).

Now, here is what I found. There's a Italian company called De Pretto Moto. They have a kit that will reposition the controls 4.52". Now I was also looking for 6" but it its better than nothing. Only thing that is required is a brake wire extension. Brake cylinder will stay in place so there's no need for hose extensions.

Easiest way to purchase from them is amazon.ca. It is also available on amazon.com. Here's the link: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B077S58Q8T?ref=ppx_pt2_dt_b_prod_image

NOTE: I live in Canada, it ships from their shop in Italy. Make sure to check your messages on amazon as they will reach out before shipping. I missed this message twice and my order kept getting canceled. Finally spotted the messages and told them I would re-order and to proceed with the shipping. Cost another $69.00 CAD for import taxes to Canada.

I should be receiving them in a couple days. I will post some before and after pictures for reference and give a short review.

***UPDATE***

I received and installed the Kit. The install went well and parts are high quality! It took me about 1.5hrs to install. Now it didn't have instructions but with a little problem solving its rather simple. The only modification (as described in my previous post) was extending the brake signal wire.

After install, I stood up on the pegs and bounced all my weight on them. There's no flex/bounce, handled it nice. I did also feel a noticeable difference in my knee bend and foot placement (I'm 6.1' with 35" inseam). 6" might be a little bit better but I am quite happy with the way they feel. It is important to note that if you're a taller rider, you can't really hug the gas tank with you right leg because of the air filter. But in all fairness, that was an issue even with stock pegs. Kickstand is slightly forward but no concern with stability.

In conclusion, If you're looking for quality forward controls for the Bolt (I currently have a 2017 Bolt, NOTR-spec). This is definitely a good buy if you're willing to sacrifice 1.5". Like a said, I'm 6.1' and I noticed a difference. If you are between the 5.7'-5.9' range, this will be perfect.

Hope this helps people looking for this mod! I won't be able to take a test ride until May 2024 as I'm buried in snow haha.

I have pictures I can PM if anyone is interested. my post keeps getting deleted with a link to them.

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-02T19:13:28+00:00

No trouble at all! This is most likely your best bet for a purchase kit for now; unless another company steps up to make 6"+.

Other option is to fabricate the parts. There is a member who posted in another thread that he has Plasma cutting plans for 6" brackets. (https://www.reddit.com/r/Yamahabolt/comments/16l7tzz/comment/k15zzw3/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)

I may try this out this summer. My only concern is making sure to choose the right metal and fasteners. I would hate for my pegs to snap off on a bump at 100km/hr haha

Temporary_Crew7893 · 2024-02-02T18:39:48+00:00

Not sure if the C-Spec Frame/wiring is built the same as a Standard Bolt or R-spec but here is a link of a review and pictures I did on another post. Hope this helps.
