good job dave
[QUOTE=Daveg;828946]Ok I got it done and it works great.Rides good I will try to post a few pictures.[ATTACH=CONFIG]98394[/ATTACH]Like I said before I took off all that stuff they had on the back to mount it and made my own set up.It is about 45 to 50 pound lighter now.Trike wheels are about 1 1/2 inch back from center of bike axle.This make the steering easy to turn and it goes down the road with out any pulling to one side or the other.It was less than $80 in parts to do this not the $900 dealer wanted for parts.Yes it took some time to work it out,but time I had.Hope this help some one .Have a great day[/QUOTE]

Thank you all for the likes.It worked out good.If some one needs some springs and shocks and stuff from a voyager kit(about 50 lbs of stuff) I have it.Thanks again you all have a great day
Very good job looks great.
Hey can I see how you made the rear brackets? I'm running into the same problem you had!

Sorry I didn't get back sooner. The rear brackets for v star are strange and they want to sell the hole kit not just the brackets.So I came up with a way to not have brackets fixed to rear axle.What I did was use the cross bar on the voyager as a mount point for the rear. Made a bar to go across the bike frame just in front of the rear tire and put 2 long bolts with rubber bushings down to the cross bar on the voyager frame.This lets it move up and down and keeps it centered on the bike.And by takeing off all that springs,shocks and outher junk you don't need makes it 50 pound s lighter too. Sorry have no pictures of it.Will try to get some soon.It will go down the road and not pull left or right.and it can move up and down with the road and not make rear bike wheel jump off the ground if you hit a bump with the trike wheel.Make sure you put trike wheel center about 1 to 1 1/2 inch back of bike center axle and it will track and turn great.Hope this helps.Have a great ride.

I was wondering if you have pics off the rear brackets and the mounting plate. i have the same issue. brought a kit that was on a yamaha venture 1300. for the most part we can get the belly plate to fit. As you said the rear mounting brackets are made to the specific bike. I have some ideas of modifying to fit but would like to see what someone else has already done.

I'm having the same issue myself.
