has anyone added risers to a Vitpilen? Not the Svart-conversion, just risers for the stock bars. Just curious if anyone else has stumbled into

I did. From Gilles. In fact I just removed them after three years of use.

yeah, I bought some too, but apparently the tree on a 401 is different to a 701. I assume you had them on a 701? Can I Ask why you took them off?
thanks for any info.

These are 701 specific as far as I know. I took them off to get back the more “sporty” seat position.
I'm using the same risers on my Vitpilen 701. They don't fit on the Vitpilen 401!
I thought all this was answered in your other thread already? --> https://hqvadventure.com/forum/thre...me-size-triple-tree-as-the-vitpilen-401.1013/
PS: Your post is in the 701 area.

Fair enough. Yes Im willing to sell them. Asking 100 bucks. Where do you live, so I can see how much shipping is?

Hi Max Kool, did you sold the riser eventually ? Otherwise I would be interested !

They were sold yes.
was the seating position alot more relaxed/comfortable with the risers? I'm wanting to do something different with mine as we plan on going on some longer rides this summer.. The factory position is just too low and hunched over for me.. Was thinking about the svart conversion, but these seem alot easier to install, just not quite as much rise.

For city riding I found the Gilles risers enough to make a difference. In the canyons riding faster I like the bike stock better.
I’ve literally just ordered a pair of these, they give 60mm lift and move the bars 40mm back. They are made from stainless but I plan on painting them black the make them look more factory. They may take a few weeks to arrive as I think they are made to order, I’ll update once fitted.
