I bought my Svart 401 on April 1st and it was the first and only one I'd seen. The local dealer had a Vitpilen but no Svart. He said he had two on order and one was spoken for and I took the second one having only seen them online. For several years I've been on Kawasaki, Indian, and my current...

There are two accessory connectors at the front of the frame so I've put them both to use. The switched one has the USB connector tied to the handlebars that I put in another thread. The live connector now has a Merit/Powerlet socket. Both my tyre pump and battery tender fit this socket and it...

Not their most fun song

Thanks ... that's why I couldn't find anything in your sig. Also explains why lots of web searching turned up nothing. Looks like I'll have to think my way towards something similar to fill in that messy area. A closer pic would be appreciated next time you are out on the bike with camera in...

I like the look of the rippled panel under the tank. Can you tell me where that's from? Thanks.

I took the lead from @BISavage and got this done this morning. Set it up on Acc2 so it turns on with ignition. If I think it looks awkward on the bike when I'm riding I can tuck it away and leave out the lead as @Sisco has done.

Thanks for the pics. Mine is similar to yours but $15 from an electronics store - the Husky part was $60. o_O Funnily enough, I'd looked at mounting it sideways on the top brace (didn't look good) but didn't even think of what you have here. I just went and tried it and think I'll set it on...

I've got a USB socket to wire into the new Svart on either the Acc1 or Acc2 connectors. I'm having difficulty finding a place near the handlebars to mount the socket. It's about 1 inch by 1 1/2 inch by half inch. I'd like it to be accessible for plugging in the phone cord but not obtrusive and...

It's a bit like BMW. I know how to spell it but not how to pronounce it. :)

What is it about that shift pro kit that makes it easier to shift and assures no mis-shifts? I've only had the Svart for a week and a few hundred kms. I've had no problems shifting so far but getting it into neutral when stopped is tricky. I've found it's easier to get there from 2nd than from...

It's a mural a few blocks from the bike shop. There's a full pic of it on another thread.

Triumph Tiger 900 GT Pro and Svartpilen - both 2021 models.

Every few years I buy a new lint filter. The part shop guy looks at it and his eyes widen, 'how are you still using that model dryer?' Simpson Minimax, Aussie made thing from before they figured out planned obsolescence. :)

This guy should know ...

I started on a late 1950s BSA Bantam in 1966, still in high school and the only kid in school with his own wheels. (Still didn't get the girl) University years sharing a Honda CB72 (250cc) with my brother. He was in the Navy and when he was on a ship I had the bike, when he was on land he had...

When I started thinking about buying a Svartpilen I chased up reviews and youtube videos. On YT there were different people pronouncing it differently, and in a few vids there were people discussing how to pronounce it. That was a bit weird, but to some reviewers it seemed important. Here in...

Hello Max I thought I recognised that avatar - the FTR there confirmed it. I've just appeared here from the Indian forum (same name) but sold the Indian in January. I hope you are doing well.

Hello All, new guy here from Australia. I picked up my Svartpilen 401 on April 1st, just in time for some Easter riding. I saw pics of the bike a year or so ago and fell in love with the styling - and with no touring in 2020 I had fuel and motel money building up for the new bike. I've been...
