Beautifully done! Look forward to seeing all the mods. And would love to see the ride out the mud.

interesting. assumed the big black box was the cat converter, not a muffler. I’ve got the cat eliminator sitting in the box and haven’t looked at fitment yet but assumed it just replaced the black box, not what the diagram refers to as the cat converter cpl. btw, anyone know what cpl stands for?

update, just opened box and it looks to replace…[Read more]

I searched connector sites on the web for hours and couldn’t find it. Cycle gear has them but cost about what you found.

50 miles with my wife on the back. Lots of fun but hurt like hell after. Only 5’5” but it’s crowded with two and legs were pretty cramped up.

mine doesn’t show when cold, but after running and let sit for a minute or so shows properly.

Haven’t had mine apart yet to compare but guessing all the holes in the back were added. Looks like from the factory. Not sure what’s being done to the lid but sure it’ll make sense once apart.

VP-1,

this is fantastic stuff! I have my mid-pipe ordered, coober waiting to be installed, and will do whatever you come up with on the airbox. Crossing fingers that coober finds their ecu can handle  these pieces as it stands. Or maybe they can update the existing box if need be.

Thank you!

There is a thread here somewhere that felt the coober richened things up and smoothed out power delivery quite well.

Look forward to seeing your work on the air boxes and appreciate your input. Not a lot of data for this bike and great to see some real world testing.

Thanks VP-1. Ordered the cat delete and have the coober waiting for a boring day to install. I’m in socal myself. What shop ru with?

Some details on the air box mods would be great. Don’t want to start punching random holes in the box.

Great research on the pipes. Can u be specific on the mid pipe? Is that the cat delete or something different?

“waow, the OEM US turn signals look ugly ”

yeah, they are something special. Any good source for the EU signals here in the US? I like to keep things factory as much as possible and the EU signals look nice and presumably will work with the stock electrics.

My wife likes the occasional ride on the back, which is why I extended my diy tidy out. She’s barely over 100 but the shock definitely travels deeper. And I put the grab handle back on as well, happy with how it looks and works.

If the eu are anything like the us connectors, shouldn’t need to cut. Unplug from harness, feed through holes on tidy and reconnect.

I figure it gives a base to strap a bag on. I had a similar rack on my Grom and it was very handy when I didn’t feel like wearing a backpack for little errands. Though I did get a tank bag for the 401, I would rather have stuff behind me rather than right in front.

it’s on their website now, so it’s for real.

I like that look. can you give a link on exactly where you got it?

My svartpilen has a clamp, same type as the lower clamp on the hose. Guess that went together during a bit of Oktoberfest celebrating…..
