Did you try bleeding it? Cheap and easy way to use as a first diagnostic step.

This is the universal fit one I ordered..... Orange Cycle Parts Large Rubber Mud Flap for Motorcycle https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0764L5QQB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_St78FbFD0J9M6?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 I plan to cut it down to fit. But I’m not too confident......we’ll see.

Yeah...... I have a cheap universal fit rubber piece coming from Amazon. But I’m hoping for something a bit more elegant, and since Pyramid already made one for the Vitpilen, I’m thinking one for the Svartpilen wouldn’t be too much of a stretch.

I sent a request to Pyramid Plastics asking if they had plans to make a front fender extender for the Svartpilen 701. I received a reply that my request was forwarded to their engineering department, and I’d get an answer ASAP.

When I was searching for an ultra light touring bike, I went to my dealer intent on buying the LR. But when I saw the price for the Svartpilen 701, which had better brakes, better lighting, and a tach and gear indicator, my mind was quickly changed. I figured for the $5500 difference in price...

Are you certain the factory included that pigtail? My experience says the dealers will sometimes install them as a courtesy to their customers.

Sold.

I bought a Pyramid Plastics front fender extender for the Vitpilen just to see if it would work on the Svartpilen. It doesn’t. The curve at the end of the fender is different.

Yes, the bag mounts latch to the rack just fine. I just didn’t buy the mounts with a keyed lock. I will check shipping cost later today or tomorrow.

I’ve already got a rear hugger on order from Powerbronze. I’m looking for a FRONT wheel fender extender, specifically for the Svartpilen 701.

As the title asks, does anyone make a front fender extender for the Svartpilen 701? I took a shot and bought the Pyramid Plastics one for the Vitpilen, but it doesn’t fit right.

How about if I throw in a Christmas/Boxing Day gift? I'll add a Pyramid Plastics front fender extender. Brand new.

This will fit the Vitpilen 701, or the Svartpilen 701 if you remove the rear body panels. It's brand new, never opened. It comes with two quick connect mounting plates, so you can set up two different bags/cases, but it will only carry one at a time. No locks. I paid $270 for everything. I'll...

That’s great. Then why not indicate they’re accepting preorders on their website instead of letting potential customers believe they’re available and ready to ship? nampus has it right....lame.

I received an email today from the folks at Powerbronze indicating they haven’t started production of the rear hugger for the Svartpilen 701 yet. Odd since their website shows it available. It’s likely why you haven’t seen any photos of it on the bike. They said it would be available after the...

Thanks. I’ll give it a closer look. ETA.....My Magura reservoir rubber seal won’t collapse. I probably should have taken a photo while I had the cover off, but the bladder has an X pattern. I tried flattening it every which way, and while it would squish, it wasn’t going to stay that way. And...

Does the seal on the clutch fluid reservoir collapse and expand as the fluid level changes? I ask because when I replaced my slave cylinder, I tried to collapse that bladder, and it didn’t work. It appeared to me to be fully expanded from the factory.

Good point. Is the clutch action matching the handle position? Since I believe you recently swapped handlebars, have you double checked everything you took off and on?

Yes, it sounds like your slave cylinder is failing, or it might have an air bubble in the line. Maybe try bleeding it first before deciding to replace it. Oberon and Rekluse are common replacements. If you’re clutch was failing, you would typically notice it slipping under hard acceleration.
