Hi Guys,

Short introduction, I just bought the Norden 901 and my first trip with it was to the Stelvio Mountainpass in Italy!
Really a great bike in my opinion and the first kilometers were a pure joy. I decided to record and keep track via Instagram under Huskydrive as I'm planning lots of modifications and everything to the bike. Lots is ordered, will post video's on how to install them.

The way this bike handles really surprised me. I come from only roadbikes/racebike experience and thought I would lack some of that attitude. But actually, this bike surprised me in every way. There is a lot of torque and power and besides that I can step of the bike without 2 hernia's in my back and neck after a full day of riding. That's really a joy! :)

My Bikes current equipment:
1: Explorer mode unabled (best interface view in my believe)
2: Akrapovic exhaust
3: Heated grip in interface
4: Spoiler on windshield

First points of notice: anybody has suggestions here?
1: A lot of heat is coming from the cat, but the German laws don't allow me to remove it without risking points on my drivers license.
2: The windshield + spoiler is still too little for me. I'm 186cm or 6.1" (according to google)

Planned modifications (random ordered)
1: Windshield
2: Skidplate improvement
3: Handlebar protection
4: Ram mount mirrors
5: Media plug in interface
6: Touring seat with heating
7: Decat ?
8: Unique graphic design
9: Front fender to off-road
10: Crash bar protection
11: Footpegs offroad
12: Extra lights up front
 
Very nice & thanks for posting.
Much more heat than a Suzuki V-Strom 1037.
I would also like to believe that the Norden’s heat is from the Cat, but it feels like the source of heat is from the front of the engine/radiators.
Looking forward to your modification reports.
Cheers.
