Evotech - 701 Vitpilen / Svartpilen Tail Tidy

The install was simple (provided I had the right tools) and every single part required is provided and fit perfectly to my Vitpilen 701. The only small element is that one needs to install the rear reflector onto the license plate or license plate holder which does not bother me. Evotech has fairly clear instructions (excluding cable management) but that's also something fairly easy to figure out. Great product + I received it in light speed.

I'm very much impressed by the quality of this product: the fit and finish is excellent, and the online installation manual is detailed and clear. I installed it in a Svartpilen 701 and all the necessary hardware was included. Btw, I'm using this with Oxford Nightrider blinkers (not the OEM ones).

There was a mention in another comment regarding the lack of blinker connectors in the Svartpilen, and that is true: the electrical system is not truly plug-n-play. I must point out, though, that the cables are there, but the connectors are not (specifically, the JST JWPF connectors are missing in the bike). This is likely just KTM cheaping out on the US version, I'm assuming the connectors are there in the EU version (since Husqvarna sells an official OEM tail tidy in that market). In any case, this is not Evotech's fault, and I just routed back the cable from the tire hugger to the tail, not a problem (alternatively, you could also buy and install the JST JWPF connectors if you're so inclined)

Overall very pleased with it, it's worth its price, I recommend.

I want to recommend this kit because the machining and materials are high quality. However, the instruction manual was wrong. It suggested that there were existing connectors to attach the signals to in the tail section of my Svartpilen but there were not. In order to make the kit work I had to extract a cable from the swingarm mounted original fender, attach it to the harness behind the cylinder head, then loosen bodywork to route under the tank cover and seat to the tail. It was a pain. Also, the four M8x30mm bolts that the manual's parts list says are included to attach to the Svartpilen were not in the kit, only the 20mm bolts for the Vitpilen. I had to run to a couple of stores to hunt down the bolts I needed. The manufacturer was apologetic and offered to send me out the bolts, I give them credit for that.
