General Discussion / Norge aftermarket saddlebag options

« Last post by brider on September 20, 2023, 11:01:30 AM »

Here I am barely 3 weeks into my new toy, and I'm already looking for alternate saddlebags. Cain't stand side-loading bags, would rather have top-loading.

Has anyone installed, or seen, aftermarket mounts and hard bags that bolt on to the Norge?

As mentioned, pay at the pump normally has a dollar limit. But if you pay inside, some places want you to give them a dollar amount to charge your card up to, but some you can tell them you want to fill it up with no limit.

Also, remember that not all cars and truck have huge gas tanks.

G'day Huzo. A fella named Richard  from TAB II Classics in Wales helped me with the tank..
Before I have any seniors moments I plan to put together a list of  what's been done with the bike. Focus presently is  getting it painted.

General Discussion / Re: Dyna III installed , Convert hard to start

I'll write this again...

Wire in a relay to handle the power to the coils and Dyna. The kill switch is handling that load now and that is less than optimal IMO. Use the kill switch to activate the relay, let the relay take the load. I have Greg Bender's "relay solution" on my Convert, but it's simple enough to wire in a stand alone ignition circuit relay.

How do you like the P3 cam vs the stock B10? I bought a P3 for my lemans 3 and am curious.

The P3 is a good street cam with a little more lift than the B10.
The motor has nice mid range torque but that'll  be a combination of the cam, bigger bores, and 41mm carbs. I'm still bedding in the motor and haven't got the jetting quite right so can't comment on the top end performance yet
