Check out the following website www.drive.drive-alive.co.uk/drivinginnorway for legal requirements, also the NAF (Norsk Automobile Forbund) which google can translate for you. The Norwegien police are very strict, with hefty on the spot fines for speeding, and you won't be allowed out of the country until you've paid! Also be aware that they have disguised speed traps, so you won't know until you've been pulled!
What front brake are you using, I would reccomend upgrading from the single leading shoe drum, as Norway is very steep! (Actually there is a lot of flat land in Norway, problem is it's all vertical!)
Another thing to watch out for is that traffic entering onto the road has right of way, except those roads marked with a yellow diamond.
A few useful translations:
bensin; petrol, gas,
bleifri; unleaded,
to takt ol; 2 stroke oil,
dekk; tyre
forgasser; carburettor,
cart, map
unshyld jeg er utlander, sprekke du engalsk?: Sorry I'm a tourist, do you speak english?
All the above aside do enjoy your trip

Actually can I ask can a TS125/150 tank fit on a 250/1? Just a thought if my tank continues the 'shed' it's insides following yrs of standing...

The mountings are different betweent the 2 tanks, the ts150 mounts from below, as the ts250 bolts on at the rear. Not insermountable, just not a straigtforward swap. As for the rust inside a tank, I suggest that you re-petseal it.

There is no rust in my tank.
i know the mountings are different.
