Bad Idea? Norge Sportifed
« on: April 16, 2024, 05:01:57 PM »
   Very close to slicing the bottom part of my Norge lower fairing off with a Dremel.  I already run around with the lowers and chin piece off as i prefer to look at the engine over plastic and would make getting to oil dip stick oh so much easier as side benefit.  Someone might have an idea how they did it to share and/or tell me this is a bad idea?

Don't know who's 2V Norge this is but sure like the look.  Found on the web. **Thinking of doing this to mine!

Something about that first shot, tells me it started out as a Breva. The header looks too small and that clamp around it seems wrong for a Norge.
But anyway. The bottom shot looks good.

I think the hardest issue to reconcile is the indentations in the front/bottom corners of the Norge tank, usually covered by the front fairing.
That is the main drawback to removing the large front fairing and going the single headlight option.
