    I'm definitely not a professional with wrapping; but with some basic knowledge and some patience it wasn't too difficult.

    801 Helmets....

    The noise is absolutely fine to me; also at highway / max. speed, no problem at all. The ventilation of the RX-7V is because of the vents on the top of course better, but to be honest; while riding I've not noticed a big difference.

    Congrats to your new bike!! (y) Because of the wrapping and the stickers; neither nor; I've ordered a pair of unpainted tank covers from Husqvarna to wrap them (part number A67608953000); they are surprisingly affordable / about EUR 90,- for the pair. Here an additional pic of the delivered...

    Puig shield

    LOL... Since my typical rides are 300-400 km day trips; mostly on country roads and small back roads, I see no need to attach a windshield at all. But nevertheless it looks better than expected.

    Puig shield

    I was always quite sceptical about the puig shield (but have so far only seen some pics of the tinted one attached to the bike), but the transparent one is very unobtrusive and fits the bike indeed quite nicely.

    Issues fixed under warranty

    It's a bit strange, but it seems the first production line of the 801 is more reliable than the later ones; mine was delivered end of July 2024; and up to now (apart from the minor quality issues upon delivery) no major issues.

    Next to the optional Akrapovic and Remus, you can also check LeoVince, Arrow and GRmoto.

    just upgraded to a Svartpilen 801

    @HappyAl a welcome from me as well. Because of the exhaust; check this thread; you'll find a lot of options there. Most exhaust that will fit a KTM Duke 790/890 or CFmoto 800NK can be adapted to the 801.

    801 320mm brake discs

    Yes, it seems you are right; "ABS remains active on the front wheel but is reduced. It is deactivated entirely on the rear wheel. Cornering ABS is also disengaged" A pic from the KTM website; it should be the same with the 801; good to know!

    801 320mm brake discs

    That's a bit strange; to my understanding the supermoto mode just deactivates the rear ABS, but without changes to the front ABS; here a pic from the owners manual.

    I haven't noticed anything like that with the ABS so far.

    Mirrors, blind spot detection and dashcam

    Yes, the stock bar end weights are quite long; you can easily add the spacers and the weights are still firmly attached to the handlebar.

    Mirrors, blind spot detection and dashcam

    Hi, the mirrors are indeed not plug and play with the stock bar end weights. I've added some custom made adapter rings/spacers to attach the mirrors to the stock bar end weights. Maybe it'll also work if you move the controls further inwards; but I haven't tested it. Alternatively some...

    Suspension upgrade

    I have no personal experience with YSS, but many people are very satisfied with the suspension parts; and I have never heard anything negative about YSS; especially about the higher product ranges.

    Suspension upgrade

    Did you also check YSS-suspension? As the quality of the parts is pretty good and they are more budget-friendly, it could be an interesting alternative to Ohlins, etc. https://www.yss.co.th/products/list?vehicleTypes=MOTO&brand=163&model=16894&year=2025
