Vitpilen 701 modifications

You can’t see the cartridge pistons in this pic.

they could be the same dimensions (but may still require different shimming).
I hope they are the same, lainer are the only one I can find at the moment apart from andreani, offering anything to upgrade the forks.
 
As far as 701 sumo
Rottweiler sas & dongle
Brake pads I got off Rottweiler (galfer) but my next set will be Vesrah rjl. I believe cross reference is the same as previous gen S1000rr or something.
bling is the Vanesche sprocket cover/case saver.
Things I’m looking at.....
I ordered a brembo rcs 15 but I didn’t like how the switchgear interferes with the lever pull. So that’s put away. Ordered a Superduke oem throttle housing so if that gives me clearance (that I’m comfortable with) the brembo we’ll get put on. IF the housing works correctly lol.
After that, Leo Vince full exhaust and more bling.
If anyone has the 701 17” cast wheels to sell I’m interested, just FYI.


Waiting for
R&G case covers
Warp 9 sliders
Factory Pro Shift kit.
 
Do you have a link to those FE1 bar risers or where to source them?

I got these 2nd hand from someone who sold their Vit and the new owner wanted the stock bars. And sorry for the typo, it's F1E not FE!1that I typed.


The page indicates that they fit the 701 – but it’s clear from this picture that the 701 and 401 mounting is different. I talked to F1E and they indicated that the local dealer had told them they were the same – and he was going to get a 701 to make a specific 701 version. That said, I was able to solidly mount these bars to my 701 without any issue. Really like them.

What is sort of protection is sufficient for a low side? I’m looking at rear and front axle sliders, is that enough?
 
...Telephone poles, traffic, trees, ...

Best protection --> good helmet, jacket, and gloves. (Bikes are replaceable)

For the bike --> bars, sliders, fold levers, ect. (when of good design), should protect it enough that all the oil stays inside and you can pick it up and limp home in the event of a bike - pavement only incident.
 
I admit, I'm vain. I hate the looks of crash pads, sliders, etc. They mess up the lines of the bike.
I agree. My dealer just knocked of another 1k off the price of the 2019 vitpilen 701s to 5999 CAD. Maybe I’ll just get an extra parts bike. Such a crazy deal.
 
Replaced the stock levers with a $75 set from ADVB in France. I had put a longer Magura stock lever on clutch - the stuby stock one was problematic for my hand postion. These are nice and a good price. Make sure you get the L38 adapter for the clutch handle - I first got the wrong one, but their support was good and the got me right bits without a problme.

Opps that should have been AVDB - I bought the Titanium...

 
Hi all! New here since I'm no longer on FB and need a place to talk mods. Has anyone taken off the side panel and replaced the air filter with the cone filter? I saw some guys do that on FB group and was wondering if anyone else has? It looks pretty cool! Also need to know what filter is used.
 
I assume you want to reproduce the concept bike external cone filter - the 701 air box is quite restrictive compared to the KTM 690s....
I think you need to both replace the air box, add a snorkel to the filter and modify the side panel (not remove). One should be able to do that with some careful fabrication.

Yes, that's what I'm looking for. I know a few have done it and there was a dude on IG that was working on a 3D print design to sell. It does look good though!
