Very, very nice. Good luck. Ride the Twisted Sisters?
Yes we did. We also ate some cinnamon ice cream in Medina. Great riding in the hill country
You're supposed to eat apple pie... Does Champion offer a top trunk with that conversion? How does the 1700cc engine do pulling that trike? I had a 1500cc Nomad and it was seriously underpowered...
I have always been more or less a Kawasaki guy. I currently have four vintage KZs. I had a Nomad that I mounted a Voyager tour box on... there was a VROC guy who made a powdercoated frame/rack for that purpose. The Voyager box was huge! I am not keen on pulling a trailer; I have a wheel-less trailer which is basically a box that fits into the hitch receiver and is wired up with lights. It doesn't hold as much as a real trailer but certainly enough for anything other than a wife's shopping excursion! I found when we bought our Roadsmith conversion we lost space compared to our GL1800 with top box and saddlesbags.

When the VN family trike conversions have been out for awhile, I may move in that direction... wait till sticker shock wears the price down to where I can afford one...
either that or an RSV conversion (had a RSV and loved it!).

I remember when the voyager came out and I looked at one but seemed just way to top heavy to me with the big tank being full of gas.
I sat on it on the show room floor and it was pushing my foot out, I was scared I would drop it right there.
I had an 88 Voyager and remember it to be kind of light and well balanced compared to the 2000 Venture I owned which WAS top heavy. Of all the pure touring bikes I have owned, the Voyager felt most like a motorcycle rather than a land yatch. I have owned Nomads, Voyagers, Ventures, Goldwings, etc.

The Voyager XII had good power, handled well and great storage. Shame that Kawasaki didn't make more of a challenge to the Goldwing with a full touring boat although the current Voyager is a decent bike, it is still only a Nomad with full fairing. I was set to buy one when we went to the big bike show up in Dallas prior to release and noticed that it was a bit cheesy; not quality fit and finish, the bags stuck out like an afterthought and the seat had too much a V. No moving forward or aft... felt like I was trapped in the crotch of a tree. Ended up with a Wing... The wing is a great bike but I prefer more a cruiser style seating arrangement.
Nice Ride. I triked same year, but 1700 voyager. TomView attachment 22517View attachment 22518View attachment 22519View attachment 22520
This is my first trike. I had my Vaquero converted and then went to the Texas hill country two days later and I absolutely love it. Very comfortable and plenty of power. Wish I had done this a long time ago
Hi, here is a pic of my 2011 1700 voyager. TomView attachment 22517View attachment 22518View attachment 22519View attachment 22520
