used Voyager kits
I purchased a used Voyager on Craigslist for under $1000.00
It came off a Harley Bagger, It is the "B" frame for Bigger Bikes.
I had to purchase the install mounts for my 1997 GoldWing from Voyager.
It has been on my Wing for a couple of years or more.
I have had no issues or regrets with the kit, other than pre load adjustments over the riding season.
My kit is the older model frame that incorporated what they called a "lockbar" to keep the preload setting and it
did not work well.
I noticed on the Voyager site that the new kits use "lock blocks" under the axle to hold the pre load.
I purchased a set from voyager, removed the "lock bar" from my kit , installed the "lock blocks" And I have absolutely
No further issues with my preload.
We ride two up all season long with no issues at all.
I went dark side on the wing and we are extremely happy with the kit.
I just wanted to share the "lock block" info with anyone who may purchase a older kit with the original lock bar.
They are worth the investment.
As the cooking infomercial used to say, "set it and forget it?
My sweet spot for preload is 1 1/2 inches,
We ride 2 up 90% of the time and I have been SOLD on voyager.
I have a number of posts on my Voyager experiences to get it dialed in.
No Regrets...
It says that with my bike the preload should be 1/2", but don't see anything on the kit to show the preload setting. I took a 100 mile ride through our local twisties which showed me that riding the twisties on this machine is much more work than my other two wheel bike which is the same brand different model (Nomad). I also noticed that any bumps in the road however small, transferred into the handlebar vibration, much more than a two wheel bike would experience. I was under the impression that the Voyager kit came with torsion suspension, but mine has springs and shocks, which may mean the kit may be an older model ?
I hit 70mph easy and it is a stable ride. When I get more comfy on it, I'll take it up to our highway speed at 75 and maybe to 80 to see how it handles. So far, it is rather fun to ride, but rides and steers like I'm riding my ATV,, only much faster . The next post will be about pulling a trailer with this setup
