    handlebar risers

    I finally gave up on waiting for a miracle and took the Heli Bars route myself. I installed them with heavier bar end weights which combine a throttle lock and have no vibration problems. Perhaps you can tape a couple of weights to your bar ends and see if it works for you. And.....you are...

    Love to see another Guzzi rider Mike, just give me a call and come on down. 603-352-4619 My schedule is wide open being a "retired" guy (I would rather be working!). I'm about an hour from Lebanon but it's a great ride.

    Norge fast idle

    My Norge does the same thing periodically...no rhyme or reason. But it is only on first start of the day..........Typically the initial high idle is to clear the rich starting mixture to meet the emissions standard for that part of the running cycle. The O2 sensor might be giving the wrong...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    I am pleased to see that some of you Guzzists enjoy the differences between the stock seat and the Corbin seat as I do. The good news is that the longer you ride with it the better it gets. Like a good baseball glove it takes time to "make it your own" but it is worth the wait. And, I do agree...

    Heli-Bars for Moto Guzzi Norge...

    A Heli-Bars alternative..... ;) The boys at Gordy Tool (home of LumaLink light brackets) are in the final stages of producing a "set back riser" block which is a marvel of engineering. Each stock bar is mounted on a block which bolts to the triple tree. The top of the block is the secret. It is...

    Norge Set back rizers and light mounting brackets

    I am working with a machine tool company on a handle bar riser that also will provide a set back of appx 1 1/2" and simple light brackets that will bolt to the front forks using the mounting holes for the front calipers. The clever design of the risers will allow access to the front fork rebound...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    My suggestion for you would be an Airhawk seat pad. It's comfortable and fully adjustable and raises your seat height by at least 1 1/2" or more. I happen to have one that was recently purchased that I now no longer need. rthompson@ne.rr.com

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    The seat arrived ahead of schedule with absolutely flawless construction and appearance. The installation was simple....it fit perfectly~ My first impression after I got over the handsome appearance was one of comfort and improved riding position. The seat offers a platform for your posterier...

    Throttle meister install

    I had a similar situation with the Manic Salamander throttle lock only instead of getting fancy I used the rubber ring that Target Pharmacy puts on its larger pill containers. If anyone would like a few let me know and I will gladly send you a couple. In addition to taking up the space between...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    :cheer: Say goodbye to monkey butt!! The new Corbin seat for my Norge arrived today and is it nice. It not only gives your ass a place to be happy but it lowers the seat height to a comfortable 30 1/2" which allows my 29" inseam to straddle the bike and stand flat footed with very little...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    According to Corbin mine was the first seat off their Guzzi production line and it has not arrived as yet (its been 2 weeks since the order went in). I will post my comments as soon as it arrives and my arse gets a few miles on it. I emailed Corbin asking for the overall height of the seat but...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    :laugh: At one period in my youth my "tight butt":dry: was a blessing. However, at this advanced stage of my youth, I really would prefer a "fat butt" which would eliminate my need to spend money on my ass' comfort. Those of you who fit this category know what I mean. I am about to depart on my...

    NEW Norge seat by Corbin......yes, its available!!

    I have reviewed the Corbin site and have not found information on the overall height of their seat on the Norge 1200. They have listed the saddle dimensions but not the saddle height when mounted. I have emailed their Tech Center and will post their reply once received. B)
