Used Vance & Hines or Cobra Tri Ovals

Chappy KC · 03-09-2017, 02:40 PM

I'm looking for some used ones to fit my Voyager. It is now a trike so they don't need to look that pretty except for the ends. Can't be gutted out though.

I'm looking for some too for my '06 Nomad. Maybe we'll both get lucky.

Hey Chappy, How do you like the trike kit. I have the same bike and color. I was thinking of doing the trike kit.

Bud2Rat; Wifey and I love it! Definitely not cheap anymore. This one has the reverse and independent suspension with air adjustments. It rides and handles much better than the HD Tri Glide and costs about $10,000 less. I feel money ahead. The only issue is it is proprietary. You can't get a parts list or installation instructions unless you are a certified dealer. That's fine and good as long as it's on warranty. Mine has had 2 issues since I got it and put 19k miles on it. Motor Trike has treated me very well. All I do is take it back to my dealer and wait for them to call me back and tell me to come and get it. My kit is the Challenger model. I'm currently riding an Ultra Classic for a loaner. Very nice but not like my Voyager! Kawasaki has it over the HD for comfort, cost and reliability IMHO. If you get one I suggest finding a dealer close to home for installation and be sure they are good. The kit will only be as good as the installer. The rear brakes need to be pumped to work very well because the original master cylinder is not made for the size of trike. When I first got it they were not even aligned right so they did not work at all. See what I mean about installation? I have more info if you want.

Tortuga; I'm hoping so. I sure don't relish the idea of spending $500 for a pair of slip ons!

Thanks for the info Chappy. There are 5 dealers in the state of NC. Closest one is 95 miles away.

Anybody know if these will fit my '06 Nomad 1600?

I gave up and bought Cobra True Duals for $409, best price I could find.

I understand! I bought a pair of Paughco slip ons. Universal mounting. Hope I can mount them with no issues. $140 for the pair. It's a gamble.
