HLU = Headlight Unit

Failure was probably caused by this:

There is just barely enough slack in the wires and cables.

When I installed I pulled too hard and disconnected the starter switch. I had to take off the headlight to fix.

You mean the light stays on even when the engine is running until you start riding for a little?

Yes unless there is an actual ABS error or the ABS is turned off.

ABS light always comes on when you turn the ignition on.

It will turn off when you start riding unless there is an ABS error.

Nice! Where do you live? Can I drop by? Can I borrow your shop? When can I move in?

Yes it looks like I fitted it upside down but I didn’t. The muffler portion only comes with two holes to bolt in the bracket. It can only install in one way.

The manufacturer installed the muffler cap upside down. Now I have three choices:

• send it back and wait another six months
• drill out all the rivets and otate the xcap and re-rivet
• or…

I used dental floss as I had no fishing line on hand. Once I got a quarter to a third of the way down I just pulled it off starting at the top.

@Sebastian

I have no effin’ clue what it means. On my order I had “Gray card line D.2 : 1111”

I’m in Canada and at the time I think that was the only choice but I can’t remember.

Selling mine for $150. Shipping from Canada.

Msg me with details to ship Internationally. Thanks!

To all those looking for headlight covers, a member here @johnnylightning makes and sells these.

Different colours and if your local laws don’t allow coloured headlight covers he makes a version with the centre cut out.

Contact him on Instagram @jimmygalactic for more info and to order.

So you mean like going here:

and finding the bike and then looking through the manual to find the wheelbase dimensions?

Not what you wanted to hear but my 2018 has been 99% problem free. The engine will cut out at this weird spot between downshifting and blipping the throttle but as there is no need to blip the throttle,  well there is no problem.

After I heard production was going to India I had a feeling quality was going to suffer. Now this is not a slag…[Read more]

Gotta say it, you put lipstick on a pig.

The pig being the plate holder, not the bike.

I see nothing

@Kelcha

If you watched my second video (kindly embedded by @Wenney) you will see the bolt that I used to attach the muffler to. I have a 2 cm gap between the top of the muffler and the swingarm. If you have the rear shock at it’s top/hardest setting that could cause the swingarm to touch. My shock is currently 2 from the bottom/soft. Take a…[Read more]

Ya that’s not going to happen with my Vit. Please feel free to do it with yours and share your experience.

As far as lean angle, you decide which would be better:

Stock

Fresco

@Wenny

I’ve seem to have hidden my Gopro in a safe place where I can’t find it!

@Sisco

I have replied with pictures but it is awaiting moderation. Which makes sense with all the spam I post daily!

@Wenny

I see it was installed on a 2019 Svart. Since I don’t have that bike I don’t know what the rear brake issue was. He said the leaking was fixed as the parts weren’t seated together properly.

And again, this went on my 2018 Vit with no problems or issues. I would not put the Ultrashorty on a Svart because you lose ground clearance. A Svart…[Read more]

@Wenny

I believe these are hand-made as ordered so they are not going to have pre-programmed robotic welds. The build quality is above average in my opinion, more like a bespoke exhaust than a mass produced one like Akrapovič.

The fit was almost perfect. There is no noticeable exhaust leak but when I took it off for the exhaust comparison there…[Read more]

Thanks @Wenny. My first post for this video was moderated for 4 days and it stripped the embed code. Keep your post as it has the embedded video.

Since I live in an apartment it is easier to do this in the basement late at night as nobody is around and nobody can hear it and complain. Plus it is not influenced by any outside noises, fire engines,…[Read more]
