1700 Trike

Chuck A. · 06-02-2021, 04:47 PM

Finally saved up enough money over the years to trike my bike. Yes its a 2015 voyager that I have done several upgrades to. I intended on it being my last bike. With these knee replacements already getting worn I thought it might be a good time to go ahead and have the trike kit added. Also I tore a bicep muscle loose in my right arm so I am off of the bike for at least 10 to 12 more weeks. There’s my incentive. Off the bike and have the money in hand for the trike. As always I pick something I can’t have. I love a California sidecar set up. Went to fill out the order form last night and it is no longer listed for Kawasaki on their website. I called today and the lady said not enough sales no longer manufactured.

See if you can find a Voyager trike and sell your Voyager, or buy a Goldwing trike ?

Damn Chuck, Your one resilient person. I Felt your pain when you went to a smaller bike but I had assumed you sold It. all the trailer storage and all. Coodos to you. I am sure you will find a suitable trike kit to meet your needs. And Damn it, Welcome back to the fold.

Not that it really matters since I have followed your decisions along this long path. GREAT for You

Check with Hannigan Trikes in Murray KY. Not certain they have a trike kit available, but they had a real nice Voyager sidecar kit in their showroom.

I have always admired a Goldwing. Problems is my knees like for my feet to be forward of them for comfort. Finding other bike that I totally trust for long rides is hard for me to do. My Voyager has never had a hiccup yet.

Motor Trike makes a trike kit for your 1700 with independent rear suspension and reverse too. Adjustable air ride too. I sent you a link by text, check it out. They also malke one for the 900 too. We can just be old men riding trikes now. 😎

Yep. I like the CSC kit better. When all is said and done they were about $1500 cheaper.
