El Cheapo Bastardo
Oca Grassa:
Huzo that looks clean and pro! Like it came that way from Mandello. (Tips imaginary cap) I LIKE it!!. Thank you so much for the description and pics!
I have been contemplating mirrors attached to the fairing like on every sport bike in my garage. Those all involve attachment points on the supporting subframe behind which obviously involves cutting holes in the plastic. Contemplating ONLY at this point.
A repaint is in the Norge’s future at some point so will probably address this mod then. Still trying to sort out in my head if a Tenni Green paint scheme would work. That’s a subject for another thread though.
Would really just like to break up the acre of silver in a classy manner. One that pays homage to past Guzzi racers would be a bonus.

They now mount on the screen structure, not the handlebars.
Zero vibration, crystal clear. Still the originals.

Hey Huzo. Do you mean your bike came with chrome mirrors from factory? Asking cuz my stock mirrors are black and I don't recall seeing other Norge with chrome mirrors.

You bought new mirrors to replace unbroken mirrors!!! Sacrilege.
A true Guzzi-level cheap bastard would have cut rubber cement with some acetone, then drizzled that rubbery goo into the joints of the old mirrors. Create enough friction so they stay put in the wind.
