German aftermarket accessories maker ABM has developed an ergonomic style kit for the India-bound Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 and the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. The ergonomic style kit from ABM includes a new triple clamp with wide handlebar (Kit Superbike), bar end mirrors, speedometer cover, LED mini-indicators, side-mounted license plate holder, and custom handlebar mirrors. The ‘Kit Superbike’ includes a new CNC milled aluminium triple clamp and other connecting parts and bolts, which replace the stock clip-on handlebars on both the motorcycles.

An installation manual and parts certificate are provided with the conversion kit. That said, customers need to separately purchase parts like a wide handlebar and bar end weights. The ‘Kit Superbike’ conversion raises the handlebars by 70 mm, thereby improving the ergonomics and handling of the motorcycles.


Apart from the handlebar kit, ABM’s sister brand Wunderkind Custom offers additional accessories like bar end mirrors, which replace the stock handlebar mounted units, while the speedometer cover adds to the style of the bike. LED mini-indicators, side-mounted license plate holder and custom handlebar mirrors.

The side-mounted license plate holder makes it a classic naked motorcycle, while the LED mini-indicators are specially developed for the Husqvarna Vitpilen 401 and the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. Following are the prices of the individual parts of the ergonomic style kit.
