I've got one on my 8V Norge and it works perfectly. The curve of the Extenda follows the concave front of the oil cooler grill with just the right amount of gap for air flow but good coverage, keeping the grit and road dirt at bay.
I'm another 2014 owner. I bought mine new as a carry-over deal in 2016. I've got 9000 miles on mine and haven't had any issues. I've got some CARC seepage/venting issues going on but it's seemed to heal itself somehow. I put lowered pegs on and a 3/4" lift to the bars and my 67 year old body...
Putting my 2014 Norge away for the season, I was rather surprised at how much gear I had gradually allowed into my top case and saddle bags. I'm going to re-think some of my "necessities" for next season as the bike is at the high end of my comfort zone as I get more decrepit with age. Early...
I went through the same sequence that you have done, finding Karla not making them anymore... I am quite pleased with the UK-sourced liners and was especially pleased with the quality as the low price had me a bit apprehensive. They arrived more quickly than I expected, too.
I bought these parts (haven't installed yet) but it seems to be a viable, low cost option for a 3/4" rise. Here's the post from another forum:
The parts list (for 3/4" risers) UPDATED, please see the spacer spec for the change. Apologies to anyone that bought the wrong spacers.
From Fastenal...
I was wishing I could get Karla's but at the time I was looking, the messaging appeared to indicate she wasn't going to continue the activity. I just dropped the above information as the ones I got are still available and seem to be a viable and affordable option. I was nervous about ordering...
I bought some off the eBay seller greatbikersgear-gbg that appear very similar, if not the same bags. I see they still list them and are one of the first things that pop up under a "guzzi norge bag" search. I thought they worked well last season and certainly are handy. They're also handy for...
I've read comments related to the Norge 8V exhaust that seem to assume the catalytic converter is in 2 places... Is it in the muffler unit or the compensator (colostomy bag)?
An acquaintance is a multi-brand dealer (Japanese). Bike sales were down 60% last year and this year looks about the same. They more than make up for it with 4 wheeler and side-by-side sales (and the very good accessories-related sales for them). They sell many more trailers for those toys...
Not sure if this has been hashed elsewhere but I couldn't find it.... I've got 650 miles on the new Norge and thought I should check for lead time for the 1,000 mile check-up, fluid changes with a couple of dealers in Minnesota. They're both 3 weeks out and short of help. Is there any...
I'm recently retired from XXX company and worked in product development on paint/finish-related issues for the HD account. I agree, they went to great pains to only allow flawless finishes out the door and were great partners on joint projects to that end. They were the standard we worked...
When pulling the warning labels off my new Norge (white) tank in the area to place a tank protector, just pulling/peeling with a fingernail detached a rather large area of paint (about a 1/2" patch) from the tank. With some trimming of the protector to get the larger sections re-located, the...
I haven't done anything and haven't noticed it but am going to add a small bumper at the hinge. I've had some vertigo flare up and didn't want to crawl around on my back and stir it up right now. It appears that only a 1/16" of material would give enough clearance at the peg point. I have...
I've got a new Norge, too. I put an Italian-made GPR Albus on and retained both of its db killers. To my ear, the sound is just right. It has a nice, low pitch with just a bit more volume than the original. It is pleasant on the road without the type of droning that wears on you. I got the...
I'm a Norge newbie, too. 65 and recently retired. Even though I'm relatively short-legged at a 30" inseam, I found the stock pegs a bit high and replaced them with them with 1 3/8" lowered units from Knight:

Really made more of a difference in the comfort level...
