The Norge out and about in central Kansas today.
« on: June 24, 2017, 05:12:13 PM »
Did a nice 240 miles today to see my almost 99 year old aunt in the small town of Lincoln. She is my only remaining aunt or uncle out of 17. About as perfect a day as it gets, upper 70s to low 80s with little wind.

Glad you got a good ride in...Norges need to be ridden often and by someone who knows how... :cool:

Nice!

How do you like your Cal Sci-Fi windscreen? Any buffeting at all?

I have the Agostini touring screen. It looks like the stock screen, only larger. There is much less buffeting, but there is still some.

Overall I like the screen very much. It protects a wider area than the stock screen. Neither screen has buffeting under most conditions.
It does not seem to be a screen problem but more of a fairing problem concerning the Norge does not like being behind a semi (much less so than other bikes I have ridden) and crosswinds can cause extreme noise and head buffeting but not handling problems. Screen height setting does not seem to change the effect. Although it has never happened the semi buffeting makes the Norge feel like it wants to go into a tank slapper. The good news is that I don't have to spend much time behind trucks.

^ Yes, around semis, the Norge and my head are battered! I almost wish I had a naked Norge... Wait, they did make one, didn't they (the Sport 1200).
