    Don't mean to insult you, but the Voyager kit is basically training wheels on a motorcycle.
    If you read past threads, you'll see that others who have installed the Voyager also experience the outside wheel leaving the pavement on curves.

    Basically, you are still driving a two wheeler with a couple of tires that provide stability on the straightaway but are not drive wheels on corners, they just sit there and free spin. You don't have any kind of slip differential or independent suspension. So, when you lean into the curve, you bring the opposite tire off the road.

    Have you visited an HD dealer to take a demo ride on a Triglide? World of difference! You wouldn't believe it.
    Again, no insult intended, but you do need to be looking at real motortrikes, not the wannabees.

    Welcome to Trike Talk, we are glad you posted and joined the site. Some of the problems that you are having could be on how the Voyager kit is installed. There are some things that have to be precise on the setup of the kit on the motorcycle.

    Ok start by resetting the rear wheels. Drive the rear motorcycle tire up on a 1" thick piece of wood. Both side wheels will be off the ground. Now loosen the rear u bolts and get both tire on the ground. Re tighten U bolts and ride off the wood. Try that for starters. I rode one for 3 years. Scary at first it will not tip over. Once you get use to it it will be fine . Learning curve is quite long 300 to 500 miles .

    <br />
    Get back to us on how this works out for you.
    When I am gona fix something I will fix it. You don't have to bug me every 6 months.

    "... do u ride a voyager trike"

    Just wanted to say Welcome. There's a wealth of knowledge on this thread, and everyone wants to help.

    When you signed up with TrikeTalk.com you were in the right church, but you sat down in the wrong pew . . . you want the 'Forum - Outrigger Style Trikes' thread.

    Sorry ~ I don't have a Voyager ~ my current collection list is in the signature line.

    I have the preload at 5/8" now if I take it up to an inch the wheels probably wont come off the ground. does it matter or should I go up more than an inch?

    Hi HD4BW Welcome to the Forum. I have a Voyager Kit on a 2003 Sportster so I know where your coming from. First check to make sure your rear wheel on the bike is straight after changing the rear axle. Also when you attached the Vkit to the bike, the bike has to be as perfect to vertical as possible. When doing preload adjustment make sure all tire pressures are set to specs before you change anything. I would not exceed 1 inch on the preload, it may lift the bike rear tire. The low speed front wobble may be helped by tightening your neck bearings a little and installing a steering damper. If you bike has air suspension you may have to experiment with the pressure there as well. These things do take getting use to but are a lot of fun once you do. Another thought you have a 10 year old bike I would check your front wheel bearings they may need replacing.
