Voyager Install question

[nevtat]

I'm installing a Voyager belly-pan on my 1999 Road King equipped with a True-Track stabilizer. Does anyone know if there is a clearance issue between the two?http://www.triketalk.com/forum/images/smilies/confused.gif

Looking at a picture of both, I believe the True-Track to be forward of the mounting bracket attachment points on the bikes frame for the Voyager.
A CALL TO VOYAGER IS IN ORDER HERE, NOT MY GUESSING:no:

As it turns out, there is no clearance issue between the two.

That's great! That's what the pics of each looked like but wasn't sure!

After having a Voyager kit for three years and the same model you are using on your Road King, you will end up with about 3-31/2" of road clearance. Speed bumps, and other objects such as driveways, entrance ways with sharp inclines you will be bottoming out. I went through many trials and tribulations with my kit and had replaced many broken brackets that snapped from vibrations and torque on one side being stronger than that on the other. I finally had an engineer/mechanic disassemble the kit and turn the belly plate upside down and weld one corner to the bikes frame. I used red locktite on ever nut and bolt since they constantly loosned from the vibration you will get while riding. Forget about preloading everytime you take the kit off and put it back on. The rear u bolts and nuts will never stay put an the forks that slide onto the brackets from your inner wheels snap. It is best to align this kit as best you can and leave it on the bike. And my prayers are with you. I just bought a Ultra Classic with a Leahmen trike kit.

I have nothing but horror stories about this Voyager kit. I hope you are one of the luckier ones.
