BUMP.
Recently added a Staintune to the Norge. Much nicer sound from the beast and saved a little weight as well.

You're not an ADV n00b. You should know that you can't say something like that without posting pictures. It's a rule! And in this case, we prolly want a YouTube link so we can hear it too. C'mon!

Here is my latest thing:
I installed hand guards.
In order to not hit the faring I also installed bar risers.
I really didn't lioke wearing big bulky gloves in the colder weather...

[DRONE]

Which guards are they? They off a Stelvio?

[Scott of the Sahara]

Yep, I got them at Moto International. They are for Norge, Breva or Stelvio

[joe cool]

Drone, I'll work on the sound track for ah. Just got back from a little spin and I can still hear the sound of her on throttle.

[Scott of the Sahara]

Joe Cool. Did you do anything to the fueling or just bolt on the muffler

[joe cool]

Scott, just bolted it on. not getting the best of mileage right now, hopefully that will change as she breaks in. BTW nice handguards Scott.

[joe cool]

Drone, what tank bag are you using on your Norge?

[DRONE]

It's a Moto Guzzi factory bag designed for the Breva 750. I looked at all the bags Moto International had in stock and liked how this one fit the best. Doesn't block my view of the gauges and doesn't affect the bars. Two years ago it was $185.

To gas up, you unzip the bag from the base 3/4 of the way then flip the bag to the right side. The base has a cutout in it for the fuel lid. Then flip it back over and re-zip. At lunchtime, you unzip it the whole way leaving the base attached to the bike, and there's a handle up front so you can carry it with you like a man-purse.

Not waterproof, but comes with a waterproof cover. Good-sized map pocket on top and a little zip pocket for chapstick or whatever.

Thanks for the info. really like your gps mount. I was thinking of something like that for my Garmin 276. can you give me some more info on what you did?
thanks
