I got my bike from Munroes. I did not get financing, yet I still paid a little more than that. But it was worth it.

I made them myself. After I made them, someone posted a similar but better version on line. You should be able to google the best way to have a sinilar installed. Think twice before you do so. I changed my mind and re-installed the fender back. After all I think the hugger fender looks better if you just remove the ugly side reflectors. Of course,…[Read more]

I have a 2020 Svartpilen 401 and twice I have bought an accessory that is not compatible. A rear seat luggage carrier and the most recent one is a tank bag mounting plate. In both cases I had to pay for expensive return shipment because the f@#$@# retailers are just more interested on selling than providing accurate advertisement. 2020 owners…[Read more]

I did not have any problem installing them without the hugger fender. You might need a longer screw for the rear left slider if you have the hugger fender installed.
i just wish they were smaller. They look bulky. -

“Rubbernutserts”
So was with mine. It kept loosening and that protector is quite a rattler when loose. It is so annoying. I was able to buy a replacement blind plug nut but haven’t installed them yet. No time for my bike right now.
Also, another ugly difference between ‘19 & ‘20 is the crossbar. The new crossbar is welded. Although the weld bead…[Read more]

The $77.86 was for 4 lights. The base fits perfectly and it’s metal unlike the original which is rubber. Use heat shrink tubings on your splicings or soldering. One of my original front signal was poorly attached to the base, and factory deformed during fitment actually. It keeps falling off from the rubber base. The original front signals are l…[Read more]

They have a different connector. I cut the KTM connector and spliced it to the Husky connectors. Also, I installed a relay for LED lights similar to this youtube link https://youtu.be/YLZ4jYwAEZU
sorry I dont have part number for the lights. I got it from ebay. Take off part from a KTM rider i guess. It’s the one in the pictures. A resistor ca…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback Vanessa. I’ll blacken those footrest. I will re-camo it again maybe. Same geo-camo pattern but maybe darker. But not anytime soon. I think I like it simpler at this time.

Thank you Vanessa for liking it. I got rid of the camo wrap. It looks too busy. Here’s how it looks now. I am thinking of blackening those silver footrest holders.
