P11 panniers, luggage, windscreen, bedroll, travel

p400 · Feb 10, 2015

It would be nice to see some details about outfitting a Norton Hybrid with travel gear. Cold travel would require a windscreen, maybe upgraded electric power.
Panniers would be a great feature for local 100-200 mile travel days.
What information and photos have you on this P11 subject?
Here is Bernward's P11 again.

I was able to PM Ludwig about his N15, which is used for extensive touring. The difficult part, for me, is understanding the custom sub frames used for these additions.

This is a repost , but trying to keep improving the visual on this subject.

And another photo with gear.

Keeping 'em coming. I'm thinking about doing the next ranger up as an "adventure tourer". Thinking a G15 MkII tank should fit the P11 frame just fine and add some fuel capacity.

here is another view of the N15 with gear.
Small leather pannier on right side, large pannier (shown here) on left.

Fabricated brackets for a P11 tail bag. simple weldment with steel from Lowes.
Uses pipe mount tab for lower and shock mount for upper mount points.
Found a black cutting board at Bed Bath & Beyond to use as a platform for temporary bungee use.
Probably fab a custom sheet tail mount from 3/16 aluminum later.
Looking at Wolfman bags for daily rider use.

I purchased a 10" x 17" rear rack from CycleGuys, aluminum, anodized black with strap slots as pictured.
At first I was going to trim the width from 17" to 13" to match what I had started with the cutting board rack, but once I placed the new slotted rack on the base supports and thought about what I could mount, I decided to leave it for now - 17" x 10"
I did receive some Wolfman pieces to mount today as well - peak tail bag, bottle holder.

I placed my Wolfman pieces on the new rack - Peak Tail Bag and Bottle holder.
Even tho its is a little wider assembly than I had envisioned, it is still in keeping with a dual sport look.
the tools I had in another bag I placed to the right , for a total of three items on the new rack.
There is a 2" over hang on the rack/platform on each side and now I am thinking about Wolfman Enduro type bags.
There are 3" wide "daytripper" bags and 6" wide E12 for more storage.
I was not sure about the "look" of this Wolfman luggage, but I am liking it more as I work with it.
The textured look on this type bike seems to fit my dual sport image of the P11 Norton.

p400 · Aug 3, 2015

just playing with pictures, I prototyped the Wolfman saddle bags on my side view.
Not the same look as hard luggage or even touring soft luggage, but it looks so fitting on the P11.
I am not sure about my scaling/sizing of the saddle bag in this photo, but t must be close.

Took a 80 mile lunch run and trialed the new Wolfman Peak tail bag and Wolfman fuel bottle.
I placed a 3 x 8 x ¼ piece of white, hard packing foam under the bottle as the bottle strapping system seemed to need something to compress against.
Great weather and my favorite bridge.

P11 and Wolfman luggage seem to be working just fine, but tools and parts seem to filling the tail bag.
No room for rain gear or carrying much, so I am continuing to use the Joe Rocket tank bag.
Seat with added foam is much better than the standard seat on the shelf back home.
I am noticing the front alloy fender fit seems very well done.

I wasn't happy with my space for carry.
I did not like my camera bag addition, so I removed and purchased another Wolfman piece to allow all my tools to be out of the central (Wolfman Peak) tail bag.
The piece I added is an Wolfman CarryAll bag...it was taller and longer than the Wolfman Toolbag, so it fit the right rear location better.
Now I have some empty space for rain or cold weather gear.
So all three tail pieces are Wolfman and I am enjoying the enduro/dualsport look of these.

Another view from top.
I was worried at first about ruining the sporty look of the P11 scrambler as I added luggage/rack/bottle......
but as I have ridden on the road for awhile, I like the look of the additions...and it allows tools , parts, and emergency pieces.
My first flat green fuel bottle came dented, I returned it, ahole vendor, then I ordered another 1 liter bottle , bright green, new as expected.

Why does the tank bag look like it's sliding off the rear of the tank?

Hi p400,
I hope you didn't take offense to my probably poorly worded post about the tank bags position. I always have a tank bag on my bikes, and was just curious about yours. Your P11 Scrambler is a really great looking bike.

I was able to purchase a Wolfman Carry all for half price.
installed on handle bar.
Added two period pieces for nostalgia - Roll chart and a watch holder.
Even tho these two old crossbar pieces are fun today, I think I want a TTO computer or similar - time temp speedo revs hours etc.
I need some LED running lights for some head on /heads up alert - every driver is looking at a cell phone.
Rev counter is out for repairs, but seems I was able to purchase a rebuilt rev counter unit for less than repairs (still yet to receive).
