wes0778 Posted April 28, 2013 #1 Posted April 28, 2013 Well, tried the sidecar thingy and was Ok, just not for me, so now, to keep the wife happy (for some reason, she seems to not like falling over ) I've invested in a Voyager kit. :cool10:
steamer Posted April 28, 2013 #2 Posted April 28, 2013 Been there, done that. Ended up with a full trike. Wife LOVES IT! She liked the Voyager kit also. I didn't like riding the bike solo with the kit on and didn't like going through all the hassle taking it off and putting it back on.
DragonRider Posted April 28, 2013 #3 Posted April 28, 2013 To me the Voyager kits are ugly and you have to be careful with where you go, you could end up getting stuck with your drive wheel off the ground. Why not go with trike, a real three wheeler, you wont be sorry, I cant wait to get back on my trike a true three wheeler. In fact I am so satisfied with mine I am getting rid of the 83, which I am selling to Jamie, and trying to sell the V Star also. Well, tried the sidecar thingy and was Ok, just not for me, so now, to keep the wife happy (for some reason, she seems to not like falling over ) I've invested in a Voyager kit. :cool10:
bongobobny Posted April 28, 2013 #4 Posted April 28, 2013 The other downside of the Voyager is turning. Give me 40 acres and I'll turn this rig around...
Yammer Dan Posted April 28, 2013 #5 Posted April 28, 2013 (edited) Cash gets involved real quick here. Was looking at this one but it pisaddeared http://www.ebay.com/itm/130897011039?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 Edited April 28, 2013 by Yammer Dan
HGWT Posted April 29, 2013 #6 Posted April 29, 2013 I sometimes wish that I had opted for the sidecar instead of the trike. I wanted to have the sidecar so I could take the wife and the dog along. Now I have no wife and still have the dog. I just can't seem to teach the dog ( a great pyrenese 40 inches to the shoulder taller than me when she is standing on her back legs and 130 pounds) to ride in the passenger seat.
Hummingbird Posted April 29, 2013 #7 Posted April 29, 2013 A friend had a Voyager on his Wing - constant adjusting to obtain best ride, got high sided a couple times (outriggers on solid ground but drive wheel in a concave area), once on, he never took it off and still had adjusting to do often. I can't imagine the problems that MAY be encountered by taking it off and on regularly. (if that's your intention) Several downsides but the MAIN up side is being able to ride w/o the fear of going down at a light. All in all, I'm sure you'll both enjoy it.
Mike G in SC Posted April 29, 2013 #8 Posted April 29, 2013 Well, tried the sidecar thingy and was Ok, just not for me, so now, to keep the wife happy (for some reason, she seems to not like falling over ) I've invested in a Voyager kit. :cool10: Hey Wes, Headed your way with Reggie in a couple of weeks for the sidecar. Good to hear it was OK (not NONO). Question (mine, not Reggie's), once you have established the mounts, how much time/work is it to put it on/off, like mentioned for the Voyager? Or is that a nono. Probably doesn't have an EJECT lever? Oh, think we may do Natches Trace either to or from. Reggie asked me if I knew of it. Yes but have not ridden it. (And good timing for Reggie, on a ride stop he said "looking for sidecar" and I showed him yours on my smart phone right then. So Bobcat didn't buy, but, think we got a couple of new VR members now.) Mike G.
wideopenrod Posted April 29, 2013 #10 Posted April 29, 2013 Had fun with mine What is on the front end here in your picture.. I am sure I missed something somewhere!
deepforkriver Posted April 29, 2013 #11 Posted April 29, 2013 To me the Voyager kits are ugly Ya know, considering this fella had already purchased his trike kit, and was really not asking for anyones opinion on it's "looks", I find your comment not useful and to be honest, rude. I am certain he is a big boy and can speak for himself. So I am just speaking for me. I find no help in your personal opinion of another members choice or preference of taste in trikes. James

James Beauty is in the eye of the Beer Holder. I named my 85 "Ugly" but nobody ever said I was normal. I seem to get opinions pretty often that I don't care for. I put them the same place I do those threats from my neighbor about what he is going to do with his Hardley. ( The neighbor I can never catch on the road) I may some day pick up a Voyager. I don't want a full time trike and don't give a Rats Ass what others think of it.

REDRIDER52 Posted April 30, 2013 #17 Posted April 30, 2013 Pa. laws say a bike is 2 or 3 wheels 4 is not a motorcycle any more cant be inspected as such but some dealers will inspect it as a bike

Yammer Dan Posted April 30, 2013 #19 Posted April 30, 2013 You might have to hide in the corner as I do Deepforkriver but when you are right you are right!!
Yammer Dan Posted May 1, 2013 #20 Posted May 1, 2013 And I'm tired of hiding!! I just don't fit in a F****** corner!!!

Aussie Annie Posted May 1, 2013 #23 Posted May 1, 2013 What is on the front end here in your picture.. I am sure I missed something somewhere! That's a leading link ...... like an ezi-steer.
Aussie Annie Posted May 1, 2013 #24 Posted May 1, 2013 Pa. laws say a bike is 2 or 3 wheels 4 is not a motorcycle any more cant be inspected as such but some dealers will inspect it as a bike Here in Western Australia it was classed as an accessory.... same as a sidecar
steamer Posted May 1, 2013 #25 Posted May 1, 2013 Pa. laws say a bike is 2 or 3 wheels 4 is not a motorcycle any more cant be inspected as such but some dealers will inspect it as a bike Do what I did. Take the kit off, inspect the bike, put it back on. No problem!
