Wanna hear from Voyager Trike Kit owners

[sirkitrider]

Hey fellow outriggers .... Can you share with me your setups.

I mean how much air you run in tires - front/rear/outriggers/shocks or fork setups.

I'm new to this machine and playing around with different setups in order to make the most of my ride.

Here's what I do/have done.

1984 Goldwing Interstate:

32 to 40 in front tire - 32 more comfortable but handles/steers better at 40 psi

32 to 36 in back tire - 36 seems better as I'm a biggin. 32 easier on the back {my back} though.

20 pounds in the Trike tires - both sides set the same

running Progressives in front forks without air - seems ok, but a little bumpy on little bumps but seems ok on bigger bumps

rear shocks are stock Showa's - run at 40 psi most of the time

What do you think? - Sirkitrider

Preload the rig by driving rear motorcycle tire up on a piece of wood 3/4 " of wood. Loosen rear bracket set both outrigger on the ground and tighten brackets. You can go as much as 1 1/2 with the wood.

I just told you what to do! What are you looking for?
I answered you the same day. This is a week later.& 1/2later.
Everything you have done so far sounds good. Keep an eye on the welds ,especially the rear by the axel and the front plate. Watch the speed bumps, you can get hung up. Do not know why you removed all the air from the front end. Be carefully if you go to replace it ..do not use a compressor. Take it easy on sharp curves especially if the are not banked, easy to loos control. Watch motorcycle rear tire wear, it wears rather fas, I only got 4,000miles out of mine. Any more questions PM me..
