Just wanted to say hi to the forum. I just picked up 2020 Vitpilen 401 with just about 2500miles. I'm not familiar with Vitpilen/Svartpilen (and I can't ride it either, because RMV is all appointment only and booked till next week, so I can't even register it!), and am looking forward to learning more from this forum.

I finally got it registered, and got to ride it for very short miles before it started raining. I can't say much, but found the Svartpilen bar too high, so last night, it went back to the Vitpilen. I think that is too low, but I haven't ridden it that way yet, so I'll see when the weather turns for better. I got a feeling I need something in between. Also, the cable routing is so interesting on this bike. Eh!

Those bar risers seem mega tall, their not the stock ones, right?

I actually don't know. The bar and the triple are supposed to be from the Svart, but I don't think the clamp/riser is from that. I turned the riser and knocked off about 1.5", but it's still to high for my liking. I'm pretty sure the stock Vitpilen bars are too low for me. I may have to try something different.
 
Those risers are not stock. Here's what stock looks like. The distance from the bottom of the black wedge shape to the centerline of the bar is 40mm. They are designed so you can reverse the risers and it moves the bars back/forward about 10mm.
