New to Me Voyager - Page 2

I made a similar transition back in the Spring (2008 Nomad to 2013 Voyager). You are going to really enjoy the Voyager. In addition to using the "correct oil" you should note that the Voyager has two engine oil crankcases with a drain plug for each. Be sure to drain both of them when you change oil.Also, the there is less ground clearance under the Voyager, so your drain pan may not slide under without some modification.

Good info. I didn't know that. Thanks.

Here you go Framer. These should look familiar.

Very nice Voyager, Dave. I'm sure you're proud... and you should be. Enjoy that puppy.

I like the black and dark silver.

Congratulations. That sure is a tall windshield.

Great looking bike. Enjoy the new ride.

Dave.. Congratulations on your new ride. I love the tall windshield. I'm interested to know how you like the ride and additional power after you have several hundred miles behind you.

Ride safe..

if you look at the 2 bikes my bike ( the one on the left) has the same windshield as Dave’s does, I just cut 4” off the bottom. So there are cheap options to a tall windshield.

Congratulations on the new to you bike, you'll love all the storage.

I haven't had the chance to put many miles on it yet.
But I like it. It rides much smoother than the Nomad.
I need to have something done to the seat.
Perhaps just have a local guy work on it for me.
Crystal got on the back of it and really liked the room and the backrest.
I'm pleased with the Voyager.

I'm also glad Framer came over last weekend for a ride.
Crystal has me working on fence this weekend.
