801 owners club

I'm going to say that that custom version, killer looking, is not actually usable. I had a Ducati in the 90s with underseat exhaust and there was a ton of heat insulation under the seat to manage it. I was still barely usable when it got over 80 F.

I'm still waiting to see anyone actually get their hands on a Vit. The announcements said they would be in dealers in November but I haven't found anyone that has one yet, at least in the US.

Hello everyone!
Would any of you gentlemen be able to take a few pictures of whats under the main and passenger seat?
I am wainting to get my hands on a vit 801 and I saw the custom version by KISKA design. I think it looks amazaing but I would like to know is that tail exhaust would even be feasible. My conserns are the heat and how much stuff would you need to relocate to make it work (battery, ecu, wires, relaysand so on).
Anyway I would really appreciate all and any pictures of whats under the seats/in the subframe.

You'll have to ad the complete airbox to the parts that needs to be removed / relocated.
At all, it would definitely involve a lot of effort; if it is even possible.
Agree, it looks amazing, but I'm not sure if it's not just a display bike, that's not even running.
On all pics of the bike the white ceramic coating of the exhaust tip is still white; not discolored.
I bet the engine was never started.

Yeah, it will need a complete clean up, I also doubt it’s possible. It’s very tight under both seat parts.

I forgot the details of it until I saw that pic above. Ceramic coating or not on the exhaust pipe, that carbon fiber cap over the passenger seat will absolutely not take that heat. That bike has never run.

As long as they didn't use epoxy resin, carbon fibre that has been treated to withstand high heat can tolerate exceedingly high temperatures above 2000 °C.
 
Thank you everyone for the replies, ideas and pictures.
My thoughts are pod filters instead of an airbox, move the battery and relays as far up front as it would be possible.

Now for the heat. Of course to protect the subframe I would cover it in thermal shield protective tape. Some modifications on the exhaust would be to install cooling fins on the muffler. One idea I had was also use the vents on the side of the subframe under the main seat to feed some air into the subframe to cool the exhaust. This hot air would then vent trough the passenger seat cover and at the end of the subframe where the light used to be (if you take a closer look at the second picture Tom sent of the vitpilen custom model you can see a gap between the exhaust and the subframe).

For your consers regarding the carbon fiber overheating I have been working with composite materials for a few years now and I have high temperature resin at home that can withstand up to 1400 degrees celius for an extended period of time.

I also really like my bikes to be street legal since I hate getting in trouble with the cops. Since this setup eliminates the tailight i would use the indicators as the brake light like the 2025 KTM Duke 990. I like the shape of the OEM indicators.

My thinking makes me hopeful that this project will someday become a reality but I would love to hear your thoughts about my plans.
Ofcourse these are just ideas I have right now but when I get my hands on a vit 801 I can better assess if this project is actually doable.

Honestly I think it’s a helluva big job for something that might just look weird in the end. I would have done an under seat exhaust instead like on the old Ducati’s. I think it looks cooler and it should be a lot easier to solve.
 
Some pod-filters together with a tiny racing battery could indeed work to create some space underneath the riders seat.

You would have to ad to your list the fabrication of a cover that fits underneth the rearframe; that is not made from plastic

Is the subframe made of aluminum or is the whole thing platisc?
I know that the bit with the logos is plastic but I am not too worried about that.
 
The subframe is made from casted aluminum; just the cover underneath is made from plastic.
But what about the painting / coating of the rearframe; would it take the heat?

I think it should. I read somewhere that the coating on the subframe is the same as on the muffler on the vitpilen 801.
 
If not, it wouldn't be a dealbreaker; you'll just need to ad a heat resistant coating to the list

Deeper in.

I’m getting a little bored. Has anybody been diving into the bike to find the o2 connectors? I really want to buy FuelX for the 801. Powertronics needs to know if the connectors are the same as for the Duke 790. If they are, the Duke 790 model will work.

Apparently it’s not the easily accessible grey connectors. Might be the black ones further in.

Perhaps but I think it’s under the right tank plate, meaning I will have to take the right tank plate off anyway. I was hoping someone else already did so I didn’t have to at this moment. 😂

Don't know, if it helps, but did you check the nude pics of the 801?
