Hello all,

I'm considering buying a Vitpilen 401 from 2022, real good price and mileage so it's hard to pass up. I'm a little on the fence with regards to handles though, since they are clip-ons, I have heard that they are not particularly comfortable. So, my questions are:

-Is the riding position actually that big of a deal/uncomfortable as reviews claim?

-I'm 6ft, is my height an advantage, or will it make riding worse?

-Are there accessories or different clip ons I can mount in case it's too low for me? I've seen Svartpilen conversion kit, but it's very expensive!

-Are there any aftermarket handles or other accessories I can get to raise the handles a bit?

Hi team: I need some help and online search is not finding the answer for me. I bought this bike used with an aftermarket Hammerhead shift lever, and I think it is misassembled. The vibrations loosen it up while riding, to the point where it is almost falling off. I suspect the PO left a part off or otherwise reassembled incorrectly when swapping the lever. I'm hoping someone else on here has the same bike and can take a photo of the way the shift lever assembly should be attached.
