Here is a picture of what it looks like when you unscrew your OEM bar end weight from your 2020. That's why you can't use the 2018 Svart part with the expander bolt. So with the RC390 mount, it attaches just like the factory bar end mount with the supplied screws. And since those mirror...

Nice write up and very comprehensive! While I'm only interested in cruising around in above 40F temps, it's nice to know there is gear like this out there.

I'd like to see e bikes continue to develop. Just like cars, more range, quick charging, and lower pricing will be key to them being more accepted and widespread.

I think they look good in the up position with the added benefit, as you mentioned, of being able to use them more safely.

As I'm not quite committed to fully replacing the whole turn signals. I had recently blacked out the chrome housings of the stock units for a subtle appearance change. But this made the halogen bulb a bit less noticeable when flashing in bright daylight. Today I added some LED bulbs that were...

Just an inexpensive $20ish Amazon tail bag with some silicone bands securing it around the turn signals and rear seat mounting tabs. I cut off the extra clips that aren't used and plastidipped over the obnoxious green logos. The big concern is if my daughter will let me take this other kid out...

If it's +45F and sunny I can go for quite a while with my winter riding gloves and cheap USB hand grip warmers. Keeping my fingertips warm has been a challenge on colder days. So I ordered some handguards as that should help keep the air blast from hitting my gloves.

I'm so jealous right now, as it's hovering just above freezing right now. By the time the bike gets warmed up, my hands are too cold to ride anymore!

Nice to have some seasoned, experienced, and wise additions to the group! Welcome!

Howdy! I'm Dan from Illinois, a 47 year old Dutchman (seems like there are quite a few here!) that is a novice rider. I took the MSF course about 10 years ago, but held off on getting a bike once my daughter was born. I told my wife that the Svartpilen 401 fit the bill as an inexpensive...

Start off with the easy things, and work your way up to more complicated items. Youtube has many good tutorials to point you in the right direction.

Thanks! Although it makes me realize why I blacked out the turn signals recently!

This was my last ride this week. Lake is partially frozen over lol. I'll get out here and there if the streets aren't salty and it gets back up over 50F.

Lot of great photos from everyone! Here are some of mine from the last few months of riding around the Chicago and Northern Illinois area.

I bought some weighted bar end mirror mounts from RhinoMoto.com and went with CRG Lanesplitter Folding mirrors for my Svart. The KTM RC390 mounts worked perfectly on my 2020 401. They also have specific mounts for the 18/19 Svarts in their drop down menu. This is a rather pricey combination...
