Japanese parts maker Kijima has unveiled the Nyanbar bolt set — seat-mounting screws shaped like cat heads, made from anodized aluminum. Priced around $30-50, these quirky accessories fit most Harley-Davidson and Japanese motorcycles, adding a playful touch to your ride.
If you love motorcycles and cats, Kijima has the perfect accessory. The Japanese company, known for innovative bike parts, has launched the “Nyanbar” bolt set — seat-mounting screws designed as cat heads. These aren’t just functional; they’re a statement.
What Are Nyanbar Bolts?
Each bolt is machined from anodized aluminum, featuring a detailed cat face with whiskers and ears. According to RideApart, they represent “the pinnacle of machined anodized aluminum parts to tell the world (via your motorcycle) how much you love cats.” The bolts are available in three colors: red, blue, and gold, letting you match your bike’s style.
Which Bikes Are Compatible?
Nyanbar bolts use standard thread sizes (M8 or M10) common on most Harley-Davidson and Japanese motorcycles. Before buying, check your seat bolt thread size — consult your owner’s manual or measure the old bolt. Kijima typically offers multiple sizes to cover a wide range of models.
How Much Do They Cost and Where to Buy?
Kijima hasn’t announced an official price, but the set is expected to retail between $30 and $50 (approximately SAR 112 to SAR 187). They can be purchased via Kijima’s official website or authorized dealers in Japan and the US. While not yet available in Saudi or UAE stores, international shipping is available from retailers like RevZilla and Cycle Gear.
Are They Functional or Just Decorative?
These bolts are both functional and aesthetic. They secure your seat just like standard bolts, but add a unique cat-themed touch. Perfect for riders who want to personalize their bike without compromising safety.
Are Nyanbar Bolts Suitable for the Gulf Climate?
The anodized aluminum construction is corrosion-resistant, making it suitable for the Gulf’s heat and humidity. However, prolonged exposure to extreme sand and dust may require occasional cleaning to maintain the finish.
