A little more food for thought when it comes to braking on a trike or outrigger. The front brakes do almost 70-80% of the braking on any bike. So improving the rear braking power probably has minimal effect on the overall stopping power. Of course it helps with two wheels at traction over just one, but I wonder what the percentage increase would be in the big picture??

Here's in California they treat the Voyager as a trailer. It's just attached differently. Geico does also. Just let them know you have it on the bike, and no increase in premium. So you still need the MC endorsement on your license with the Voyager. However a true trike is considered a car and the MC license isn't needed to ride one. Go figure... :-) Now what get's me to pondering is.... with the Voyager pulling a trailer would one need a trucker license because you're pulling a set of doubles??? On the rake I'm really confused. The RSV is low in the A$$ from the factory. When shorter dog bones are added it raises the stern and according to what I've read the steering get's easier?? So that's what I planned on doing to the Voyager to see if it would get a bit easier?? But... if it makes it squirrely maybe I'd be better off leaving well enough alone??

My favorite thing is the panic button on my truck's keyless remote for remembering which one is mine...in a 2 car parking lot.... :-)

I bet there are more 'old' bikers who don't want to give it up than riders who do so because they like the trike. You're a rare bird hummer. On the semantics of the what the Voyager is called, let's just call them 'Out Riggers'. That ought to settle the trike vs. 4 argument. For those that are interested there are some very explanatory videos on the Voyager web site. HERE That should give members who are snow bound a little entertainment between tossing logs on the fire....

Hmmm?? The last time I tried it, I came to a dead stop and kept my feet on the floorboards... and didn't fall over. I've even seen riders with full conversions, and they're capable of doing the same thing.... Hannigan does a big business in rake kits for their conversions?? Heavy steering?? Nah, couldn't be... One nice thing about the Voyager is if we find the Fountain of Youth we can go back to two wheels. If not the kids can enjoy a few more beers after we're gone....

It's a little more than that. The Voyager wheels are spring pre-loaded. Tire pressure can make a little difference in the handling but pre-load is an absolute...

One of the things that'll getcha the first time anyone rides a trike is to push on the right grip to go left and visa-versa. It makes the rider lean a bit the opposite of what is normal on a 2 wheel. My Voyager will not... I repeat will not... turn to the left when leaning to the left.....

400 miles away in Ownings MD. One thing to think about is the Voyager is 58" wide. You should take a 6' wide trailer... :-) Don't ask how I know that....

Yep, they've been around for some time now. That bike in the CL ad that's been sitting for a long time what looks like out in the weather is way over priced. The leaf stuck in the dash and the weeds are a dead give-a-way... On the used market the Voyager in mint condition will demand around $2000 grand. This one doesn't even come close. The bike is a parts scoot. The guy didn't even think to pull it out of the tall grass to take the pics.... Maybe 'cause he couldn't get it to move?? The whole thing is worth around $1500 at the most. I love mine....

Yep... I used to use that stuff.. When I had hair...

Had that happen to one of my bikes when moving it. Sunk right up to the frame. Got off and it just stood there. I did get it up and out of the temporary center stand with a lot of help from my son and a come-along. I wouldn't wait around until it stops raining. Those troughs will fill up with water and the ground will get softer....

Yes. The rods are removable from the clutch side and are accessible once the pressure plate is removed. The best way to get them out is with one of those magnetic nut retrievers with a small round magnet for a tip. The block is non-magnetic and the rods are. They'll pull right out.

I assume you had the push rods out. One thing that can cause a problem is when putting them back in there is a very small flat surface on one end of the rod tips that go against the bearing. If one or both rounded tips are used it will cause the rods and bearing to slip and bind against the wall.

Certainly an eye catcher, but I agree with Rick...except... the bike isn't in sync with the trunk...

Unfortunately this happens more often than not with small businesses growing beyond their market.

There have been a few over the years that have done what you're planning. Maybe someone will chime in with the necessary stuff required if they're still lurking....

I wanna know how you got it to stick to the ceiling that way???

Impressive.....

On their website they are asking folks to order one before they start production. Sounds like they don't even have financing yet, and all production estimates are pie in the sky

I don't see how they can produce that thing for 7 grand when 650cc two wheelers are going for 10-14. If it is built cheap I wonder just how long it's going to last. What's the base price of a Spider??

Have you tried to get ahold of Midtown Cycles?? They might know....

Like Mr. Z said, I filled up last night at $2.39 per gallon. The California Gov has his head stuck in a very dark place, and is holding the people hostage. Special additives my a$$.

LOL... It's raining here, and I'm bored....
