The basis of GRMoto`s Yellow Arrow is unmistakably a Husqvarna 701 Vitpilen. The changes are primarily focused on improving functionality.
Body kit
The Vitpilen was modified by Team Gas & Retro from Slovenia. The changes are quite subtle, but provide an improvement in performance.
The headlight at the front was retained, but equipped with a small fairing, which also encloses the speedometer. The radiator frame was painted in yellow to match the rest of the bike. A plate with the company’s logo was placed in front of the manifold.
The rear was also modified and equipped with small wings, the pillion seat cover has a small spoiler. The resulting body kit is also offered for sale by GRMoto.
Improved handling
The original fork was replaced with a 43mm Showa BFF fork, taken from a Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R. The single-disc front brake system gave way to dual Brembo M50 monobloc disc brakes and Brembo Cortacorse RCS brake and clutch master cylinders.
Brake and clutch levers were fitted with protectors. The exhaust system was shortened, blacked out and fitted with a CNC-machined cap.
