There’s only 3 weeks left before the ride and I’m still looking for donations for the cause. If you can help it’s much appreciated.

That makes sense, especially with the demo deals. I was looking at the 701 Svart and thinking it’d be easier to trim away the fairings to simplify it like a Vit rather than taking a Vit and making it ride like a Svart. Good luck with the trade and conversion.

@elbastos I’m curious why you wouldn’t just upgrade to a 701 Svartpilen?

It’ll look like this:

No, it doesn’t exactly just lift up, you’ll need to raise the rear of it up and pull it back and lift it off. It does take a little bit of effort to get on, but not as much as it takes to put it back on. Do it a few times and you’ll get the hang of it. Do you have the manual? If so it has directions in there.

Very cool.

That’s a long ride, rod frost. Did you need to stop much beyond filling the tank up? The svart has a more comfortable position so maybe not.

Thanks, Jeff. I’ll definitely post pics after the ride.

Thanks.

Looks great. Which windscreen is that?

You should talk to other dealers in your area about this one because this has got to be the fault of your dealer. Husqvarna/KTM has been making bikes for a long time and this doesn’t seem very likely.

Yeah I considered having it 90 degrees but I was being petty and wanted to hide the big blue lever when my phone was attached. However, I see that they sell replacement levers in black and red so I’m going to replace mine soon and flip it.

I dug through reviews before deciding on the quad lock and I never came across anything about damage to the camera, and since this system doesn’t use magnets there’s no way it interferes or messes up the gyro. Maybe you’re thinking of a different case. I’ve used this thing since May and it’s been so great we’ve put on one my wife’s bike, and use…[Read more]
