I just got my Norton gp spec body kit. Curious if anyone here had installed or know of there are instructions? I really don't know where to start and I'm worried I'm going to mess the kit up. Thought it would be more cut and dry like the hot bodies kit. Watched a few install videos but this kit seems to have more frame modifications and doesn't seem to fit together so that well.

Any tips or point me in the direction of a place i can find instructions would be helpful. As I'm a bit lost here.

Or if in Central Ohio anyone who i might be able to pay to install.

We have instructions on the listing as to what needs modified in order to install.

As with all parts we heavily recommend having a licensed, experienced, professional install them.

A good rule of thumb when it comes to a task, especially with mechanics, is if you're not confident in doing the task, then have someone who is do it. Any motorcycle shop should be more than capable to complete the installation, it's not that much different from any other track bodywork install, just has more frame modification rather than modifying the bodywork to fit.

Realistically, the only frame piece that must be modified is the triangular bracket on the rear subframe, as you can choose to modify the bodywork to fit the two bolt brackets towards the seat.

Can OP she’d light on the fairing install for the upper fairing. The Norton team left that off their website instructions. I’m having trouble getting the front fairing on and it attached to the mount they separately sell. It gives me no clearance with my handlebars

Do you have a steering stop?

Also what handle bars do you have? Recommended bars are the Woodcraft 2.5 in rise clamped under the top triple plate.
