Cross-fitting Norge Scoops for Heat Management on Stelvio

Great idea, i have been looking for a solution to protect the fuel injector fuel connection. i broke one in a low speed high side, probably from my knee sliding forward and breaking the plastic connector

WARNING! UNAUTHORIZED THREAD DRIFT:

Maybe I just need a second cup of coffee ... with grappa ;) ... to clear my had this frosty morning at the top of Virginia, but I have been sitting here for several minutes contemplating how that "ow speed high side" could happen.

Not wanting to collect any personal data, I had always thought from videos, reading, and bench-racing (admittedly, some of the last with beer or similar beverages:giggle:) that considerable speed was required to launch oneself in such a way to have the machine chase you down the road.

That connector looks to me to be more the product of deterioration from sun rot than crash damage.

That said, I am still trying to figure out how I managed to have a low-speed low-side on my Griso and -- tho it came down on its right side, I nicked a chunk from the end of the exhaust can on the left. :think:

Best,

Bill

Ha! anything is possible - when trying to power slide around a dirt corner and the rear suddenly hooks up, it doesn't take much to flip the bike on its side, the pannier saved my leg i think.

Thats not the broken piece, look where the fuel line should connect behind the guard, also on the top right of picture the tube is ziptied closed to get me 40miles to the next town.
 
And here's me in the UK trying to find ways to get MORE heat from the Engine onto my legs!
Maybe if we get a decent Summer for once, I'll try this.

I think my cash is safe from this particular mod . . .
