Went down the rabbit hole looking for an extension after trying to check the engine oil level today.
That sure is a lot of plastic and bolts that need to be undone just to get a hand in.
After browsing multiple posts and forums, there seems to be a few options but none are in stock.
First is the original 2008 onwards updated pull stick https://harpermoto.com/products/oil-stick-978496

Next is the Stucchi Luigi oil extension which doesn't seem to be sold anymore, even under their new website: https://officinestucchi.it/en/
Same with the TLMS one (but this one is not recommended because of leakage)
There is a DIY method which involves destroying the original cap:

Any other kits or sources to try to get one shipped to Asia?

It's a struggle even with the pull stick. Filling is a pain.
As you probably noticed, people permanently remove the lower fairing.

One of the main reasons I cut VroomHilda's skirts off... Easy access and she looks so much lighter.. Mine was early 07 without even the hole to slip in dip stick!
:laugh:

You can fill easily by removing the fairing at the back side where the two bolts attach to the other body panel, gently pull it forward and get a large socket on the plastic threaded portion, it undoes with very little pressure.
Then a long necked funnel and you're good to go...takes about 5 minutes to take off the panel/screws and black threaded insert.

I put a Teo Lamers addition on mine immediately when I got it.

Access just below the spark plug cap.

The way you have that muffler routed is *chefs kiss* and it seems to still have space for the saddlebag - perfection.
One of these days I need to get a muffler shop to mandrel bend me an extension.

The top bend is 90 mm PCD and bottom is 110 mm PCD.

Actually this is a better shot of the pipe and the oil dipstick mod.

Really, I don’t know why you’d not just get a red Norge 2 VPC when looking for a good tourer, I’ve had mine 17 years from 2007 and I’ve never been tempted to sell it.

Huzo,
That dipstick is slick. How do you fill on a change? The Gen 2 Norge (8V motor) has a screw in insert where the plug goes for the dipstick. I remove it for filling. Has anyone tried to adapt it? Not sure if the plug and insert have the same threads.
Interesting that you moved the mirrors to the fairing. I did that with my 2014 Mahogany Brown Norge, too many years with them fixed to the fairing on the FJR & C10 Concours. I've never seen anyone else do it. I traded that in in 2019 for the MGX 21, and keep wondering if the bike will ever surface on the forum.
