Svartpilen "Rear Baggage Carrier" (and other stuff) Needed

[bertn]

I'm putting the Svartpilen seat on my 2018 Vitpilen but I'm missing the rear portion if anyone wants to sell theirs. Or, if there's anyone that is looking to swap their Svartpilen seat for a Vitpilen seat, I'd be open to trading.

And while we're here, I'm open to making my Vitpilen a Svartpilen in every other way, too, so if you're in the opposite boat or have spare parts from upgrading, let me know.

This is my first bike, so my perspective might be skewed, but it seems like owners of these bikes are especially quick to make upgrades. Maybe that's how it is with most bikes in the class, but with the Svart/Vit split, it seems there are also a lot of people in my situation, for whom stock parts might be an "upgrade" in some ways, rather than just replacements: seat swaps, handlebar conversions, etc. Would it make sense to have a permanent thread for swaps and spare stock parts?

The Svart seat is different?

Yeah, the Svart has a split seat so you can either have a pillion seat on the back or the rack it comes with. Some prefer the seamless look of the Vit seat. I think (hope) both are compatible with either model.

If you install a Svart handlebar in your Vitpilen, I might be interested in buying the Vitpilen parts, I want to try the Vit riding position.

Yeah, I'd be interested. Would you be willing to trade your Svart setup, or were you wanting to keep both options? The handlebar swap was going to be my first mod when I decided to get the Vitpilen rather than wait for a deal/availability on a Svart, but the Vit position has been fine, at least on the road.

That's the thing, I want to keep both setups

Just keep me in mind if you end up making the mod to the Svart handlebar and want to sell the Vit setup.
