Voyager Trike Kit ?
Good morning forum members. I have tried the search function for trike kits and can not get the answers I need. I purchased a 2007 Ultra Classic last month. I want to install a trike kit. I can not spend the $10,000 to $15,000 for one. I saw where a few members have the voyager kit. Can anyone give me the up's and down's on that particular kit? I am unable to ride anymore without some type of kit. Thanks.

RE: Voyager Trike Kit
I had a minor spill with the wife a few weeks ago. My knee and tibia were crushed. Now I have some cadaver bone with a plate and several screws throughout my leg. The doctor says my bone density is very low and recommended no more riding. I have 2 harleys sitting in my garage collecting dust. I am selling my superglide and trying to come up with a lower priced trike kit to keep riding. I have been off work for 3 weeks now. I can't stand on it yet but give me a couple more weeks or months and I'll be as good as new.

I know three people that have the voyager kit. it works for them and is an economical way to go. Except for one area. The rear tire tends to wear out in 5,000 miles. The voyager kit seems to eat the third tire up.

RE: Voyager Trike Kit
Hi all....I have a Voyager Conversion Kit on my '06 Electra-Glide Classic. Purchased in April from Baker City, OR dealer. The cost was $4,800 which included whitewall tires, chrome wheels and tombstone lights.
No, it does not 'eat' upyourthe tires on either bike or kit! I don't power through corners or hotrod either. Takes about 5 minutes to get the hang of riding w/kit....steer thru corners..no lean.
If you google Voyager Conversion Kit, you will find their web site (think it's under MTC). They make kits for every motorcycle made. Great Customer Service also. You can click on dealers once you're on the site...to find one in your particular area.
Word of caution....Moco will not honor your 2-yr or Extended Warranty once you attach the Kit to your motorcycle! At least that's what they told me. Might be a bluff, but it's not a HD factory install.

RE: Voyager Trike Kit
We have the Voyager kit attached to a 2003 883 hugger Sportster. We bought the bike withthe kit already installed. We have been pleased with the kit so far, but have come to the realization that we are going to have to rake the front end 3 degrees to make it easer to steer on winding roads. Also the 883 lacks power on steep hills so we are looking into re-gearing, or going as far as adding a 1200 kit. It is a snap to remove or re-attach the kit. But we found out the hard way with the hugger Sportster that we had to remove the front mounting bracket in order to ride without the kit. My son took the bike to work the first day we removed the kit but left the front mounting bracket on. Making a slow turn off a main road onto a side road he found himself lying scraped up on the ground, as there was not enough ground clearance, and dumped his mom's bike[sm=oopssign.gif]For the money you get the best of both worlds, andI believe they are having a sale on them this month. We also advised MTC that they need to make a note when selling kit to any hugger type models that is is wise to remove bracket.
My wife has a growing interest in the Can-Am Spyder, so only time will tell. The Sporty might be going up onthe auction block.

Welcome to our forum.
Voyager is good. You may also want to take a look at the Insta-trike kit.

RE: Voyager Trike Kit
I just installed the insta-trike on my moms Virago. Not hard to install and rides pretty good. Can't comment on the Voyager though.
