tow pac insta trike

[mhammer]

have any of you have any experiance with this kit and if so what do you think of it? pros and cons

[The Wolf]

Off the top of my head I think Suzie "Yellow Trike" may have started off with this kit. Send her a PM and see if she can help. If I am wrong I apologise in advance..

Had one on a Suzuki Burgman 650. It was a good starting trike for my daughter. See now has a Goldwing 97 1500 with a CSC conversion. It rode well. I have seen them on some Harleys and Goldwings. I have only rode the Suzuki with this setup. Ted

Never did the Tow pac but had the Voyager and it worked ok.

Well, I finnally went and did it. Two weeks ago I purchased a '09 V-star 1100 Silverado and today I arraigned the purchase of a Tow-Pac Insta-trike. Now I just have to wait for the tax man to do his part. I figure inside of a month I will be sailing along on my new trike and I can't wait.

Woo Hoo Boomba!!!!! Another trike about to be born :beerchug:

I currently have the voyager on mine and I like it. I have since found the Trigg Trike kit and also like the looks of it. Looks to cover more of the back rnd. Check it out:

Before locating my current (new to me GW1500 with CSC) ride, I looked at Tow-Pac, Voyager and Trigg for conversion on my '07 Yamaha Roadstar.
I really liked the Trigg the best for me, but that is simply an opinion as I have never ridden one. I did ride a Kawasaki with a voyager, and really saw no problem with it.

With the value of my Yamie and the cost of any of these choices I would have had within $3K invested, of what the '95 GW cost me. With this I gained more comfort, stability, cruise, stereo, cb, air shocks and trunk space. The '95 actually had fewer miles than my Yamie, so I felt it was 3K well spent. But I about wore out a computer for 3 months looking at every bike and trike for sale within 1500 miles.

If you really, really love your current ride, then these kits are a viable alternative to a full conversion kit due to the big price difference. It is really an individual thing, and I know a lot of happy riders on bikes that don't interest me. They probably wouldn't be completely happy with my choice.

I did begin my tri-ride with the Tow Pac. I had it installed on a 600cc Silver Wing.

LOVED IT! As a starter trike it was awesome. I could do everything 2 wheels could do.

Had I NOT had the funds to buy my GL1800 I would have stayed with the Tow Pac.

I'd say the ONLY draw back with the Tow Pac is the inability to rake the bike because you CAN revert back to two wheels.

I had the 8" wheels. I think the larger wheels are better looking.

[John Luciano]

Trigg looks an awful lot like a modified Voyager to me.

[Gorilla]

If you go the Tow Pack then diffently go with the bigger wheels. They look better in my opinion and spin less.

[Boomba]

The set up I am getting has the 12' wheels I thought they looked a little better than the 8's

[Gorilla]

Cool

I am doing the same thing. I just purchased a new 1800CC Suzuki Boulevard M109RT and I also purchased the Tow-Pac kit with the 12 inch wheels. Now I am going to sell my VW trike.

There are a lot of riders using the Voyager kit here in Canada. I looked at importing them to sell at my shop but I never did because no one can anwser me on the motorcycle insurance coverage.

Technically a Voyager kit is viewed as a two wheel attachment. Transport Canada's definition of a trike is very clear "A MOTORCYCLE WITH NO MORE THAN THREE WHEEL TOUCHING THE GROUND AT ALL TIME" The definition includes conventional trikes, reverse trikes and side cars

I agree that the voyager kit is a good product and an affordable alternative but it turns your motorcycle into a "Four Wheel Vehicle" and I'm not sure how the insurance company would deal with the coverage if someone with a Voyager kit was involved in an accident?

I would recommend that anyone with a Voyager kit or similar product to check with their insurance company to ensure that they have proper coverage.

I am still not 100% clear about it, so educate me if you "really" know the answer!

[Gorilla]

Those that install they need to check. In Florida by defination your right they would no longer be a motorcycle, if someone pushed the issue.

I still swear by the VOYAGER

Totally avoid RICHMOND TRIKES.

SAFETY ISSUES,

life and death.

Be sure they explain how The kit is installed to the bike.

NO 'U' bolts............
