Engine guards for a Norge
« on: November 13, 2016, 11:21:34 AM »
Not so much a new guy but been away for awhile.
Does anyone have a source for engine guards for a 2011 Norge? I've done the online searches but without success. I've seen some installed in pics and actually saw an 08 at the dealer with the guards. Can't seem to find stuff for an 11 model.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I have been interested in these, too, but they do not seem to exist for the civilian Norge. Still, one ought to be able to install something if one is handy with a saw (to cut holes in the tupperware)...

Precisely what I thought.
I've seen them on the older models but there was some changes in the tupperware on the 8V models. I was really hoping to find some that bolt on without cutting holes.
If anyone has ideas about where to get some, please feel free to post it here. I love the Norge but definitely not a lot of farkles available on the open market.

They do exist, at least for the police bike version:



Here's a thread on the subject from last year (which I had forgotten about): http://wildguzzi.com/forum/index.php?topic=80719.0

Hmm, didn't really want to have to steal them off a cop's bike  :police:. Was kinda hoping for a legal means to acquire a set so there wouldn't be a need for a ride in the  :copcar:.
I checked the H&B website with no success. Almost makes me feel bad about having a Norge.....  almost but not quite  :bike-037:

The tabs for the police crashbars are not on the civilian frame. Won't work without heavy modification.

Even if you get engine guards you will need something to protect the bags since they are a hefty expense if damaged.

Or, you could simply not worry about it. Every bike will go to sleep at some point and lie down. I know this from personal experience! That is why I have comprehensive insurance.  :wink:
