Great but there is one thing

Looks amazing and sounds amazing, you can definitely feel the difference in performance. Good thing the factory inlet didn't go away, now my knee doesn't hurt when I press the old one. Only one thing that didn't make it five stars, the one piece that screws into the back that holds the entire system to the bike was too big for the hole they put in there and I had to make an effort, to get it done. But it worked and now it's amazing, after that it's five stars!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • There are cons

Plug and Play for 2017 Yamaha Bolt

This is a no fuss plug and play configuration and you will definitely feel the difference riding your bike after you put it on. I also added an exposed Cobra exhaust system; Since I modified both the intake and exhaust you MUST add a fuel control chip between the injectors and the processor to get everything timed properly after a significant increase in airflow which will dry out the engine which is no good!

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

Great for the price.

I didn't like the standard air intake on my bolt. It stuck out too far and was really restrictive, sucking hot air between the cylinders. Installation was very easy, took about 10 minutes. It really exposes the side of the engine and looks better. It also makes it less uncomfortable to sit on the bike and reach for the controls. Setting it up should keep it from leaning out and maybe adding a few extra horses, but I don't think it's a crazy win. I recommend buying if you don't like the default…

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Long delivery time

Works great, looks great

Okay to start with the obvious, this thing looks awesome installed, works great and definitely reduces the side profile over the stock airbox. This thing saved my right knee from that pesky bump I got from the stock airbox. The ONLY reason I didn't give it five stars was because the bracket that attaches it to the mounting plate on my head didn't fit properly. The mount was too short no matter what we tried, about an eighth of an inch. This resulted in the bracket never being attached, meaning…

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options

Quick install much more convenient

I was a little nervous seeing some of the negative reviews about not coming with all the hardware but thought I'd risk going to a hardware store. I received my kit with all the gear, including the skullcap bolt. Yes, it's a little disappointing that he's shown with a skullcap in all the pictures, even though it's an optional accessory, but he's also shown that way in most official V&H commercials. the effect it had. The bike sounds different, a little louder, maybe a decibel or two louder. It…
